Many rallies and car-themed events are usually held every year, including the always-popular Ipswich to Felixstowe car run.

This event, which sadly had to be cancelled for the second year running due to Covid-19, features a display of all kinds of vintage and veteran classic vehicles on the seafront and prom. We also have photos here from the hot rod and custom car rally which the resort hosted until a few years ago.
