Welcome! Look here first for the most up to date information on the 40th running of the One and Only Preston road rally, 1st/2nd December 2018.

We have requested a permit for 90 starters, route planning is well advanced & we are expecting >180 miles, 120 or so competitive - with lots of new land. New start and finish venue this year - the wonderful facilities of Snetterton Circuit. Regs to be published early October.

3 months to go. Planning and preparation is in full swing. the most exciting time of the year... 'The One and Only'!!

It started in July. This was our first planning meeting, moving miniature bottles around the custom Preston OS map, working out how to tie all the competitive sections up. We don’t just throw this together you know!

Show us yours, then! Two of this year’s course cars are as we speak being constructed by Luis Diaz and @RmRallying. Let us see what you are doing to prepare.

First official briefing issued by CoC Brian Jaggs tonight:

More recceing completed by Brian and Bob today. It’ll look very different in the December dark....

Marshal registration opens tomorrow with a special gift for early volunteers: chelmsfordmc.co.uk

Entries for the 40th Preston opened 90 minutes ago. Currently we have 55 entries, more or less one every 90 seconds. We have a permit for 90 so you might need to be quick😀 chelmsfordmc.co.uk

Well, the entries have been open for around 14 hours and we have 50 paid up competitors & another 34 on the pending payment list. So if you are thinking of entering you’d better be quick - 6 more places to fill & then it becomes a reserve list. chelmsfordmc.co.uk

Today’s message from CoC after another successful recce yesterday:
