The Great Malle Rally 2025
Every summer, an intrepid band of riders takes on the Great Malle Rally — a 1,500-mile adventure from Land’s End to John o’Groats, threading through some of the most breathtaking, challenging, and remote roads in Great Britain. It’s a celebration of adventure, camaraderie, and the unfiltered joy of the open road.
While the rally is predominantly a two-wheeled affair, there’s one notable exception: the Morgan Super 3. No stranger to the Malle scene, Super 3 has appeared on every UK and European rally since 2022, typically serving as a support vehicle for photographers and filmmakers — unmistakable in its bold black-and-white livery.
For this year’s rally in June, the Super 3 Support Vehicle was piloted by Georgia Peck, who is no stranger to extraordinary adventures in exotic cars. We caught up with Georgia to hear what it was like to drive one of the most unique vehicles on one of Britain’s most unconventional road trips.
“I’ve never driven another car for up to 12 hours a day, for a whole week, and still felt as engaged at the end of the day as I did at the start. It was pure, visceral joy.”
How did you find yourself as the driver of the Super 3 on the Malle Rally?
When my good friend and Malle founder, Robert Nightingale, asked if I’d help and join the support team for the Great Malle Rally, I couldn’t say no. Despite short notice, it was something I’d always wanted to do, so I cleared my diary and packed my bags. He asked me to take on the role of ‘Rescue Driver’, piloting the Morgan Super 3 as a support car up the length of Britain from its most southernly point to its most northern tip, collecting any riders who suffered mechanical breakdowns or injury along the way. Given that my daily driver is a 1929 Ford Model A Speedster, I suspect Robert figured I’d be very at home in an open-cockpit car exposed to all the elements (which there were a lot of). And he knows I don’t hang about, which was necessary to keep up with the 100 experienced bikers!
But, of course, more than that, it was the opportunity for the adventure of a lifetime with some of my favourite people.
What are the enduring highlights of your time on the rally?
The camaraderie. The scenery. The sense of adventure. The speed of it all. The plotted route via endless empty winding roads, glamping nights, wild swimming, live music, the diversity of guests from around the world – and of course, the Malle team, who allow you the privilege of getting lost in the days without having to think about a thing but driving or riding, and enjoying the adventure.
Above all, however, my highlight was every second spent behind the wheel of the Morgan Super 3.
I’ve never driven another car for up to 12 hours a day, for a whole week, and still felt as engaged at the end of the day as I did at the start. It was pure, visceral joy – like racing a go-kart, but one with heated seats and comfortable enough for daily use! I braked into every apex, and accelerated out on full throttle, for a full 1,500 miles, flicking between gears as we endlessly chased vintage motorcycles along some of the most breath-taking roads and passes in Great Britain.
Despite fearing I’d be left behind without the two-wheeled ability to filter between traffic, we kept up throughout. It was, quite simply, the most fun I’ve ever had on four (or in this case, three) wheels.
Driving the Super 3 also gave me something rare, space to fully switch off. My mind quieted, and my senses took over. No thinking, no talking, no worrying. Just the rhythm of the road, the sound of the engine, and the pure, unfiltered joy of driving. It felt akin to the meditative experience of riding a motorcycle – that same full-body focus – but with a level of comfort and stability that let my body relax, even as my feet and hands moved instinctively, almost on autopilot.
What was the most challenging part of the rally?
Perhaps not challenging, but ‘hair-raising’, was driving the Hardknott and Applecross passes in the pouring rain. Whilst the Super 3 tackled both with exceptional ease – effortlessly ascending the single-track roads and hairpins in single-point turns up to 626m on the Bealach na Bà, then coasting down in low gear over cascading streams of rainwater on the uneven tarmac – visibility was extremely poor in the clouds, with sleeting rain coming from all angles, and little room for error. Due to my (shorter than average) height, I could not see over the mist and droplet-speckled orange windscreen, so I had to lean my Hedon helmet-clad head fully out of the side of the car to see the road ahead, getting decoratively sprayed with water each time I turned the wheel right or coursed through a puddle.
What makes the perfect co-pilot?
“Someone fearless who trusts your driving. Someone with calm energy. Thankfully, the two guests I collected along the way on the Rally were fabulous passengers. One was a car collector – with an F40, and 275 4-cam in his garage – who actually dozed off in the heated passenger seat for 30 minutes or so as I hooned along the B-roads from Cornwall – a true testament to the smooth ride and suspension of the Super 3! The other was a cracking fellow named Dave who braved the elements with me for almost a full day as the heavens opened on Day Three. Soaked but smiling, he called the Super 3 “Ridiculous, in the best possible way. A car that sticks two fingers up to the ordinary.” Then somewhere between the Welsh border and the Yorkshire Dales, when a humpback bridge gave us just enough lift to make things interesting, he turned to me, grinning, and said: “This is the next car I want to own.
“Ridiculous, in the best possible way. This is the next car I want to own.” – Dave, Co-Pilot
What’s the first thing you would pack in your Malle Panniers?
A Malle Hurricane suit – a full-body waterproof suit with a hood. I wouldn’t have survived the Great British weather in an open-cockpit car without it. It kept me dry as a bone, even throughout a full day of Scottish downpour. My Malle microfibre towel, for ringing out the rainwater collected in my derriere imprint on the driver’s seat. My Hedon helmet to cancel out the wind, a full face visor, and a picnic to stop and enjoy with a view.
What three words would you use to describe Super 3?
Go-kart, for grown-ups! (Or, more specifically, for those that don’t ever want to grow up!). It felt like the thrill of a race, without the competitive element.
Where would your next Super 3 adventure take you?
No question, the Great Malle Arctic Rally through Scandinavia this August!
We’d like to thank Georgia for taking the time to talk to us, and for getting into the spirit of Super 3 so perfectly on the rally.
