A – SOCIOCULTURAL LINKAGE – SPIRIT

The culture of motor history is an integral part of the heritage of this event, open to the participation of ancient and modern vehicles. This event was born in the name of friendship and the competition should not represent the point of reference for the participants, but rather the celebration of a meeting that encourages the exchange of experiences between people united by the same interest in the world of motorsport.

B – OBJECTIVE

The QUEENS’ CAVALCADE 2024 (QC24) is an event open to motorcycles and cars, intended to travel along roads of notable tourist and cultural interest. The objective is to complete a secret route along a route marked in a roadbook or GPS in order to check the navigation capacity and resistance of participants and motorcycles. In no way will it be a speed competition and all participants must comply, throughout the duration of the event, with the provisions of the highway code and local traffic regulations. The speed limitations, which, together with accuracy in navigation and strict compliance with the indications of the navigation devices, will form the final score.

C – ADMISSION OF PARTICIPANTS

Queens’ Cavalcade is an invitation-only event.
Queens’ Club members will be admitted. Additional participants presented by at least two members will also be admitted, up to a maximum of 50 participants.

D – SECURITY

“Fair-play” and good vibes are required at all times. Participants must drive making maneuvers easier for the rest of the participants at all times, avoiding any incident, and facilitating overtaking. As in all navigation events, the roads will be open to traffic so participants must take due precautions, having special respect when passing through towns or when they encounter cyclists in all the places through which the route passes, always The speed must be adapted to the road the participant is on, in addition to respecting all the indications that that road has.
