Wales to Cotswolds | Thursday 2nd October – 3rd October 2025.

Steering away from traditional team days, RRN are hitting the road with an event closer to home – our debut Rapid Repair Rally! A rally designed for sub £1000 cars with entrants encouraged to theme the cars as they see fit! Setting off on October 2nd in Cardiff, this two-day adrenaline-fuelled competition promises to be immense fun whilst raising funds for selected charities, including RRN’s headline charity, the ‘Estuary League of Friends’.

The Route, Rules and Ride

The rally will feature a convoy of eccentric and unique cars, with bonus points awarded to the most creative design. Starting in Cardiff, the 2-day route leads drivers through the Brecon Beacons, Snowdonia and Colwyn Bay, before crossing the finish line in the Cotswolds.

But speed isn’t how you win! Participants can earn points for the best-dressed car, team costumes, and completing challenges along the way. The entire event will be professionally filmed, capturing every moment to be relived and shared with a proposed 45 minute documentary to be aired on YouTube. RRN hosts and support vehicles will also guide teams throughout the rally, ensuring safety and smooth navigation.

“We’re thrilled to launch our very first charity Rally! We wanted to offer something different to the normal, that would still appeal to industry colleagues and car fanatics. The response has been amazing and we now have just a couple of spaces left! We are inspired to devise more events like this, while making a continuous charitable impact.” – Rob Hawes, Managing Director at RRN.

Fuelled with Purpose

The Rapid Repair Rally proudly supports the Estuary League of Friends. A non-profit organisation committed to improving the lives and well-being of our older generation through life-changing services and social support. Every mile driven will help raise awareness and fuel their mission to make positive change.

We’d also like to thank our supportive partner, LKQ. Fellow leaders in the automotive repair sector, LKQ, shares our commitment to quality, innovation, customer service and giving back. Nial Leeming shared his thoughts:

“We’re proud to be involved with initiatives that bring the automotive community together for a greater purpose. The Rapid Repair Rally is a brilliant example of how a passion for the open road can drive social impact. We’re excited to be a part of RRN’s debut rally, and look forward to the end results!”
