The Hughes Rally from its inception as an Historic Rally was the brainchild of Andy Gibson who sadly passed way in 2016. Andy's funeral and memorial took place just a few days after the 2016 Hughes Rally. Andy was a highly respected figure in the world of rallying with many wins to his credit. Many people from the world of rallying came to pay their respects at Andy's memorial and the continued running of the Hughes with it's well supported entry stands as a testament to Andy.
