Round 1 of the 2023 HRA Touring Championship
The inaugural Autumn Glory Tour is 3 day non-speed, non-timed Touring & Navigation Assembly. It runs Friday 5th to Sunday 7th May when the glorious autumn leaf colour of the region will be on full display for the event. Entry is open to anyone who would like to participate, in any registered car.
The event tours along open public roads with loops each day from event HQ in Albury. Friday’s route takes in the famous autumn colours of Bright, Mt Beauty and Beechworth, while Saturday sees you enjoy the panoramic scenery of the Upper Murray including a foray into NSW and the town of Tumbarumba. The Tour’s showpiece day is the Sunday when you’ll tour the length of the Great River Road along the Murray River as far as possible on bitumen – it’s a driving experience not to be missed through some incredible country.
You can choose whether you’ll join for one, two or all three days and select from one of three categories:
- Tour with Observation Test using route charts
- The Navigational Challenge using old maps
- Social Run – non-competitive, a drive ‘just for fun’!
The weather in the north east has certainly become autumnal in recent weeks and the colour we are seeking for the event is starting to appear. The roadbook for the Social Run and Observation Tour is being finalised this week and entries are rolling in.
