Recover from motoring event (5)
I believe the answer is:
rally
I believe this is a double definition.
'recover' is the first definition.
(I know that rally is a more specific form of recover)
'motoring event' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rally that I've seen before include "recovery" , "Regain health" , "Bring together for a purpose, troops perhaps" , "Muster" , "Get-together" .)
