To my fellow drivers, After the success of this year’s first-ever classic car rally tour in Georgia, we are now pleased to announce that we are now planning for our next event coming in October 2019. This time, we will be starting from the Black Sea in Batumi, Georgia and heading through the country via the stunning Caucasian mountain roads. We will leave Georgia and head into Azerbaijan, driving still through the Caucasian mountain range but also through desert. The rally tour will then finish at the Caspian Sea in Baku. Be sure that I am looking forward to share this experience with you! ZOË WHITTAKER
DRIVING THE UNEXPLORED In May 2018, we completed Georgia's first-ever classic car tour through the country. It started with an idea, lots of curiosity and a hunger for discovering the unexplored. Thanks to the help and support of local businesses, Georgian Ministers, MPs, Ambassadors and the Mayor of Tbilisi, we were able to experience Georgia at its finest and true nature. A mix that provides an experience so unforgivable that we will be back next year for more. This time, we have decided to start the rally from the Black sea to the Caspian Sea. The 2019 edition will be specifically dedicated to raising awareness around sustainability by highlighting upcoming local projects and initiatives from Batumi to Baku.
GEORGIA Georgia, located on the Black sea eastern shores, has so much to offer. From amazing landscapes and scenery to delicious food, their unique orange wine and welcoming locals. At the crossroads of civilizations, the beauty of Georgia definitely lies in its mix or unspoilt history and culture yet still being diversity taking in influences from its neighbours, Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan. SUSTAINABLE DEEP SEAPORT PROJECT IN BATUMI The 2019 rally edition will be dedicated to raising awareness on the sustainable deep seaport development in the region. This large project planned in 9 phases includes a special economic zone dedicated to eco-friendly infrastructure and growth connecting East and West through central Caucasus.
AZERBAIJAN Azerbaijan bounded by the Caspian Sea and Caucasus Mountains was also a former Soviet republic county which span Asia and Europe. Its capital, Baku is famed for its medieval walled Inner City with the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, a royal retreat dating to the 15th century, and the centuries-old stone Maiden Tower, which dominates the city skyline. SUSTAINABLE PROJECT IN BAKU At this stage, Zoe Whittaker Ltd is currently reviewing and selecting eligible projects in Baku's vicinities (Azerbaijan) to be included for a highlight in the 2019 driving tour.
