The ongoing Wednesday evening gatherings of the three main Classic and Performance Car Clubs on the island – Driving Mallorca, The Mallorca Classic Car Club and The American Car Club at The Boathouse on the Paseo Maritimo are putting on a big show on Wednesday 8th June to commemorate a year since the fatal accident that befell Russell Stevens, the charismatic previous Manager of Driving Mallorca.
In the weeks that followed Russell’s accident last June, a spontaneous gathering of over 100 cars gathered at The Boat House to remember Russell and partake in ‘One Minute of Noise’ in tribute.
On Wednesday 8th June from 6.00pm until 10.00pm, the three clubs along with The Boathouse, which has become the focus for regular classic car gatherings, will jointly host the Russell Stevens Memorial Car Show – a much up-scaled version of the current weekly event through which classic and performance car owners will display some of the many beautiful and amazing cars present on the island.
Open to the public, the Russell Stevens Memorial Car Show will also include a barbeque, live music and a cash bar, and the respective Clubs are billing the event as a pilot, to repeat the show each month through to October.
DRIVING MALLORCA RALLY TAKING SHAPE
The performance and classic car club Driving Mallorca, which organizes regular meetings and outings for its growing membership have secured the final weekend in October for a repeat of their inaugural ´2015 Rally Sprint Driving Mallorca´ closed-road rally that took place last year.
The 2ND Edition of the previously named RALLY SPRINT DRIVING MALLORCA, hosted through the non-profit Escuderia Driving Mallorca, is scheduled to take place in an expanded form as a two-day event, incorporating both day and night stages, on the 29th – 30th October and will also represent an official event within the Balearic Rally Championship.
Being part of the Balearic Rally Championship guarantees that the date will remain on the FAIB calendar into the future. With an Entry Fee limited by BRC Regulations to a ceiling of EU 280.00, this will ensure a high number of entries and exceptional value for money for competitors.
The ORIS Rally Clasico has established itself over the years as a great test of historical cars at the highest international level, both in the number and quality of participants, with 13 special closed-road stages spread over the three days. The event provides further proof that the classic car scene is exceptionally strong in Mallorca, with more cars arriving on the island every week, and owners enjoying some of the very best roads in Europe.
The Driving Mallorca Rally will include 10 closed road special stages and the same number of night stages as the ORIS, but at a little over 10% of the entry fee. Due to the desire to establish the event through guaranteeing its future editions and ensuring the participation of competitors from the Balearic Rally Championship whilst still offering an entry fee of only EU280.00, sponsorship of the event is being offered at three different price levels – Title, Gold and Silver.
