HERO and ERA: Champions of Historic Rallying with Seren Whyte

It's me, Mark Stone, and I had the incredible opportunity to visit the Vista Heritage Centre and chat with Seren Whyte, the event manager of HERO and ERA.

We delved into the rich history of HERO and ERA, tracing their origins and growth over the years. From the nostalgic Pelican Classic to the exhilarating Peking to Paris rally, Seren shared the diverse range of events they organize, catering to novice and experienced rally enthusiasts. We explored the stunning surroundings of Vista Heritage and discussed how it serves as the perfect backdrop for their tests and competitions.

Join me on the Back Seat Driver Podcast, as we dive into historic rallying and uncover the passion and excitement behind these incredible events.
