IVVCC International Gordon Bennett Rally 2015 The IVVCC International Gordon Bennett Rally 2015 will take place from the 4th to the 7th of June. We are changing our base for the 2015 event to the Johnstown House Hotel, Enfield, Co. Meath. The route will take in roads never travelled before during a Gordon Bennett Rally and they have been chosen for their suitability for early motoring vehicles. The event is open to cars manufactured before 31st December 1930. This year is the 40th anniversary of the IVVCC commemorating the 1903 race and for the anniversary we are adding an additional day of casual driving on the Friday. We are very pleased to announce that in our anniversary year we have new sponsors for this great event. We would like to both welcome and thank Barrett Private Insurances and Chubb Insurance Company of Europe SC for their participation.
