Historic rally cars will flock to Notts who will host the only UK checkpoint of a Monte Carlo rally later this month.

Ye Olde Bell Hotel, in Barnby Moor, Bassetlaw, is home to the UK checkpoint of the 20th Rallye Monte Carlo Historique, an event in which only classic cars which have raced in the rally between 1955 and 1980 can compete.

General manager at the hotel Kate Firth said: “The cars and drivers provide quite a show stopping spectacle.

“The history of the event, the cars and the drivers’ passion is fascinating and inspiring too.

“We have been lucky enough to be a regular checkpoint for the rallies and it’s something all the staff, guests and a great following of spectators always look forward to.”
