Andrew Dodds Autocare is pleased to be an official sponsor of the Lombard Rally Festival, which will take place at Craufurdland Castle on August 31 and September 1, 2024.


This will mark the festival’s debut in Scotland, having originated in Bath. At the event in late summer, more than 50 historic rally cars will take the stage, designed to look like an authentic 1970s and 80s rally. These are not just static displays, but actual rally cars in action. Previous champions will be taking part, driving cars, and sharing stories of their time as rally drivers. This event gives car fanatics a unique chance to witness these cars, which are now out of action for competitive rallying.

The Lombard Rally Festival aims to make a previously inaccessible event much easier to attend. Competitive rallies used to take place in forests, which was difficult for the public to attend. In 1977, this transitioned to spectator stages. Lombard Rally Festival recreates this atmosphere, tapping into what used to be the largest-attended sporting event in the United Kingdom. And now, with the event taking place at Craufurdland Castle, it's even more convenient for you to be a part of this historic event.

In attendance will be the exact Ford cars that rallied between the 60s and 90s, the winning car from 1972 to 1979, rally drivers from Sweden, and much more. We look forward to seeing you there.




Book tickets for the weekend, one day only, or even include camping to stay on-site during the event. Tickets are available here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/lombardrallybath/1176044
