Following the success of our fist rally in July 2024, Blues Banger Rally returns in 2025! Join us on a journey from Goldington Road to Malmo, Sweden, via France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Denmark!
In July 2024, nine bangers and 36 people ventured to Poreč, Croatia, via some of Europes most amazing landscapes and roads. In 2025 we will be taking a new route through northern Europe and putting more cars through their paces.

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.
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.
