Rallye TransMaroc
It begins and ends in Marrakesh, but crews will spend most of their time in the desert. Don’t be daunted, though: you can hire a 4x4 if you don’t own one, and instruction will be given to those new to driving on sand. zaniroli.com 9May

Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance

Gran Premio Terre di Canossa Italy has more than its share of great regularity rallies, and this one takes lucky crews through some of the most absurdly attractive locations in the north of the country. There’s a ‘culinary itinerary’ to match. granpremioterredicanossa.it 21-23 May

Grand Prix de l’Age d’Or
The Circuit Dijon-Prenois hosts the famous Historic racing festival that was first held all the way back in 1964. This year packed grids will include ’50s Legends and the Heritage Touring Cup. peterauto.fr 4-6 June
