The Historic Rally Car Register has unveiled an expanded programme of scenic
tours for 2008, with nine events aimed squarely at owners of older cars who like
to take part in social and non-competitive events.
Scenic tours have no competitive element and timing is only used to spread the
entry out. The emphasis is on a relaxed, social, fun event in the company of
like-minded people in some of the most beautiful parts of the country.  No
competition licences or membership of a particular car club are required. The
provisional 2008 schedule is as follows:
Sunday 20 April
The Corinium Run is organised by the Cirencester Car Club and is a very popular
run through the beautiful Cotswolds, covering around 100 miles.

120-mile route taking in the magnificent display of bluebells that abound the
