Rally History In 1984 they organized their first Jersey Car Rally sponsored by Tudor Webasto. The headquarters were in the Pomme D’or Hotel, which has had a long association with the club, but by year two the attraction to this unique event was so great it outgrew the Pomme and moved into the Island’s largest hotel and sister to the Pomme, the Merton, where is still runs from today. Many ex-Works drivers have competed over the years on the Jersey Car Rally. Jimmy McRae himself competed there in a Porchse and Formula One girl Louise competed in a Honda a few years ago.
Island Information Three unique shopping locations to the Island are Jersey Pearl, Jersey Gold and Jersey Pottery, the Pottery also boasts one of the best restaurants on the Island and once entered Queen Elizabeth II.

During World War II Jersey and its fellow Channel Islands were occupied by the Germans, there are many fortifications left from that period, bunkers at Sorrell are easily viewed and the bunker at St. Peter in the grounds of the Jersey Car Museum is certainly worth finding time for but probably the most famous visitor attraction from the occupation is the under ground hospital in St. Lawrence, it wells catalogues the history of a very sad time for the inhabitants of the Channel Islands. If you are looking for older historic places to visit Gorey Castle high up on it’s nest will delight you, Elizabeth Castle out in St. Aubin's bay, but watch to keep your feet dry and the Martello towers from days of treat from Napoleon and at St. Catherine’s point you can walk out well towards France ! It’s coast line is a delight for all kinds of water sports and fishing and from the Bouley Bay side of the Island you will sight the coast of France. Fairfield Motorsport
