Welcome to the 3 Shires Stages Closed Road Rally 2023
17th September
The rally welcomes HILLS FORD return as title sponsors of the
Hills Ford 3 Shires Stages
Marshal Registration now open via Rally Stage Teams
The event was first run in 2019 and was the third event under the new closed road legislation. The rally had continually grown over the years being run by a small dedicated team of organisers working behind the scenes with the local communities and Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire County Councils. We look forward to seeing you this year either as a competitor, marshal, resident or spectator. Keep an eye on these pages and Cheltenham Motor Club's Facebook site for all the current information.

The next 3 Shires Stages Rally is September 17th, 2023 in Partnership with
The 2023 3 Shires Stages Closed Road Rally Many thanks for your ongoing interest. Following the disappointment of not running in 2022, the team has been working hard and are happy to confirm we have a new approach building a solid official’s team for 2023 to ensure the rally can run over a number of years. The team will be led by Dan Lister, Keith Richings and Pete Henness as Clerks backed by a growing number of experienced officials and event volunteers. Motorsport UK have been very supportive with the new approach and have been working closely with us all on a regular basis. The 2023 rally wants to be much more involved with local communities and residents, hopefully including them as volunteers in the resident liaison teams for their stage. For those who want to train as marshals in orange for the rally day, dedicated training session will be arranged locally. Please contact us at 3shiresstages@cheltmc.com to register. This year the 3 Shires Stages Rally will be working alongside The Rotary Club of Newent Rotary and Districts who host the very popular Newent Car and Classic show also running in September, so a festival of cars for enthusiasts. Make sure you book the dates in your diary for a car lovers treat in September 2023 For further information please like the Cheltenham Motor Clubs Facebook page, the website www.cheltmc.com or email us on 3shiresstages@cheltmc.com For the Car and Classis show please like the Facebook page, Newent Car and Classic
