Rally Barcelona Sitges 2018

RALLY SCHEDULE OF EVENTS 2018 Barcelona-Sitges

From 3rd to 4th March 2018

The 60th edition of the Barcelona-Sitges International Vintage Car Rally is held on 3rd, 4th and 5th March.

Once again, as it happens every year since 1959, Barcelona and Sitges will be linked by the caravan of historic vehicles -cars produced until 1928 and motorcycles until 1938-, which will start in Plaça Sant Jaume in Barcelona and will end their tour in the Sitges, square of  La Fragata.

Retro modernity is the image of the 60th Barcelona-Sitges International Vintage Car Rally

Sitges, Barcelona and a vintage car happily approaching the Costas del Garraf, with the sea in the background as a link between these 3 key points, are the protagonists of the poster of the International Rally Barcelona-Sitges Vintage Cars, which this year celebrates its 60th edition.

The simple lines of the Automobile of the image, inspired by those of a Buick D44 of 1916 that this year will participate in the rally, represent the change towards a new style, a generational renewal that coincides, with the carefree elegance of the spectator who contemplates the vehicle when it passes. They are references to the own evolution of the Rally, in which more and more young drivers are participating.
