Since 2008, Classic Rally Press has revived the spectactular 1958 Liège-Brescia-Liège microcar rally. Following very successful rallies in 2008 and subsequently, it's time for the Diamond Jubilee, in July 2018! Our provisional schedule will take you through all the splendid passes tackled by those early pioneers as they thrashed little engines for 2000 miles over mountain pass after mountain pass in search of glory – but this time, instead of non-stop for 64 hours, you can enjoy the authentic route over 11 days, with luxury hotels, all meals, fun special tests, fascinating visits, mechanic back-up – and the chance for the competitive to win superb trophies! Every finisher will receive a special, exclusive, Diamond Jubilee replica of the original enamel plaque awarded to the finishers on that historic 1958 rally. The principal event will be for exactly the same cars and classes as in 1958 and the only cars eligible will be those of a type identical to cars that would have been eligible in 1958 - up to 500cc with classes for up to 250cc and up to 350cc - plus three-wheel versions if mechanically identical (due to the vagaries of international competition rules, in 1958 3-wheelers couldn't compete against 4-wheelers - well, they can in our events!). That's all Berkeleys other than B95/105s, Messerschmitt KR200s and Tigers, Isettas, Heinkels, Zundapp Januses, Friskies, suicide-door Fiat 500s, early 2CVs, Isard/Goggomobil 300s and 400s, and more
There will be a secondary event run alongside, but entirely separate with its own prizes, for microcars in the spirit of the original event but a bit later, or with larger engines up to 750cc - all later Fiat 500s and 600s, later Citroen 2CVs, Berkeley B95s/105s, BMW 600s and 700s, and many more.
