After being held in Germany last year, the Maserati Club UK \u2013 the oldest Maserati club founded in 1972 \u2013 organized this year\u2019s event, based at the iconic Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder, which features world famous golf courses, a luxury spa and Scotland\u2019s only two-Michelin star restaurant.<\/p>\n

A total of 120 stunning Maserati models took part, from 14 different countries, including 55 cars from the UK and five from as far away as Australia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Rest and be Thankful Hillclimb.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The driving element of the rally kicked off on Saturday and took in a hill climb course up the famous Rest and be Thankful road which divides Glen Kinglas from Glen Croe and, at its highest point of 245-m above sea level, offers views of some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland.<\/p>\n

The hill climb, organized in conjunction with the Caledonian Motor Club, was over a road built by General Wade in the 1750s to allow the English easier access to some of the wilder parts of the Scottish Highlands.<\/p>\n

Among the cars taking part in this year\u2019s MIR were a host of classics including the oldest vehicle taking part, a 1957 Maserati 3500GT, a Vignale Spider, as well as a stunning Sebring. Alongside these beautiful classics were more recent vehicles, including several Maserati GranTurismos and the latest Levante SUV. Overall, the collection of participating vehicles illustrated the strength of Maserati\u2019s DNA, which could be seen clearly in modern day cars as well as the classics.<\/p>\n

The coveted Peter Martin Trophy, awarded to the winner of the rally at the prize giving that closed out the event, was won by Armin and Beatriz Streuli and their Maserati Coup\u00e9, while the winner of the Concours d\u2019Elegance was named as Onno Hesselink\u2019s Mistral Coup\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While the cars were the main focus of the Rally, there was ample time for participants to take in some of the cultural and scenic highlights of the unique territory with visits to Inveraray, Blair and\u00a0Stirling Castles, a malt whisky distillery and even an opportunity to take part in a Scottish C\u00e8ilidh where the dress code was decidedly tartan.<\/p>\n

Next year\u2019s MIR will be hosted by the Maserati Club in Sweden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
