The Journey:
From Goldington Road, journey across to the charming city of Lille, then passing through Belgium's vibrant city of Antwerp with its historic architecture and lively port. Heading into Germany, you'll reach Hamburg, where you’ll see a blend of modern buildings and the historic Speicherstadt district.
Next, the drive north takes you to Groningen in the Netherlands, a city known for its canals and cycling culture. Crossing into Denmark, you’ll pass through Middelfart, offering views of the Little Belt Bridge and surrounding coastal scenery.
Finally, you’ll travel through Copenhagen, with its colourful Nyhavn harbour, before crossing the Øresund Bridge into Malmö, Sweden, where its modern and historic Scandinavian architecture greet you.
Your Car
The fun starts with finding your rally car! The basic rule is that your car must not cost more than £1,500 and be road worthy. Any additional spend on your car is up to you post purchase.
Fundraising
Whilst the Foundation Banger Rally is set to be an amazing adventure, it is first and foremost about raising important funds for Blues Foundation. We kindly ask that each car commits to raising or donating a minimum of £8,000 - this will be your entry fee. We would encourage all those interested in the rally to get in touch to discuss the many ways in which this total can be achieved. Through sponsorship, events or donations, there are a numbers of routes to achieve this target.
What’s included
Included in the challenge will be dinner, breakfast, hotel/accommodation for all 4 nights, as well as a limited amount of evening drinks. We’ll also provide mechanic back-up service throughout the duration of the rally, and your Eurotunnel fee.
You’ll have to be responsible for all expenses related to your car, including insurance, tax and fuel.
Finishing in Malmo, participants will need to arrange their own way home.
Rally Rules:
Documentation:
Your car must have a valid MOT certificate and be taxed for the duration of the event. All drivers must be covered by car insurance, including European cover. All drivers must have a valid driving license which covers them to drive in the countries shown on the route. All participants must have European travel insurance.
No Racing:
The Foundation Rally is not a race. All participants are advised to drive safely and to obey the regulations for the country you are in. The organisers take no responsibility for any accidents or damage caused by anyone taking part in the event.
Safety & Backup:
We take safety very seriously and therefore will have a continuous support vehicle, as well as mechanic back-up service that’ll follow the route.
You are also strongly advised to take out European breakdown cover for the event. This could be the quickest way of getting your vehicle repaired.
Entering:
We are anticipating this to a very popular event, therefore will be running this on a first come, first serve basis.
Entries will close at the end of 30th November 2024.
