Grand Tour Rules

We have already started working on the GT but I have to make a few changes to the rules of the event. Here they are:

  1. No overtaking, snaking or weaving on the run.
  2. No messing about on the roads.
  3. No police sirens, two tone or any kind of emergency horns to be used on the run. (Musical ones are not a problem).
  4. No water cannons or water bombs to be used on the Grand Tour at any time and that includes in the car park.
  5. No standing up in the minis with your head out of the sunroof (if you have one) and that includes standing up in the back of convertibles.
  6. Every mini will (must) try to raise a minimum of £30 but a lot more would be nice and we do not care if you do it as a club, a group, a couple or just by yourself. But please do not leave it to the car in front to raise the money.

Only 6 but it will make a difference.
