Welcome to The Crumball Rally Co, (Est.2006), the original organiser of budget classic and banger car rallies inspired by some of your favourite car and driving films.
Taking in some of the most stunning locations and awesome roads in Europe, our events guarantee a stimulating drive.
But it's not just about being behind the wheel... you'll need a sense of adventure (and possibly a toolkit) as you and your team have to crunch the miles in a car costing no more than a measly £200! Alternatively, if reliability is important to you, for Grand Prix we also welcome the owners of any open topped two seaters of any age, and any modern or vintage classic cars.
Plenty of people complete the events for charity, with many tens of thousands already raised for local and national causes. Others just like an excuse to paint and customize their chosen bangers and party their way through Europe. Whatever your motivation, you can be sure of a long weekend to remember!
GRAND PRIX - 10 - 13 MAY 2012
FULLY BOOKED
The Crumball Rally Co once again presents for 2012 "Grand Prix" - a low cost driving rally for car and motorsport fans themed on John Frankenheimer's seminal movie about the 1967 GP season.
Culminating in Monte Carlo for the fabulous bi-annual Monaco Historic GP on the Sunday 13th May, the 3 day drive through France, Switzerland and Italy will take in several motorsport "meccas", including the Historic racing circuits at Reims and Monza and the stunning cars exhibited in the world famous Schlumph collection.
As well as driving the stunning Alpine roads and the Italian lakes, stopping at classic motorsport sites and eating and drinking some of the continent's finest... you will also need a sense of humour to take part in the themed daily tasks we'll set en-route.
Most importantly you will have a sense of style, as this event is open to any car, whether it is a
traditional £200 banger, a vintage or modern classic, or any two seat ragtop regardless of age.
Returning for 2012, Crumball Rally presents "Mission Impossible", (fully booked when we ran it in 2009), very loosely themed on the films of the Tom Cruise secret agent Ethan Hunt. Taking place over a long weekend in July it will pass through France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Germany onto the final destination of Prague, the fabulous city epitomised in the first of the "MI" films.
The route will throw in the usual "hurdles", in order to make completing the event at least a "Mission Improbable", including the challenge of one of Top Gear's "World's best driving roads", the legendary "Stelvio Pass" and an opportunity to have a go on Europe's longest dry toboggan run at over 3km.
Aside from the fine scenery offered by alpine mountains and lakes, we'll be following the medieval cultural route in Southern Germany, which includes the magical Neuschwanstein (the inspiration for Walt Disney's fantasy Disneyland castle).
As if coaxing your £200 car fifteen hundred miles across some of Europe's toughest and most scenic roads was not enough, there will be the usual "light hearted" daily tasks, and plenty of opportunity for eating, drinking and socialising away the evenings.
Are you up for it?...whether you do it for charity, for the challenge, or simply for a bit of fun,
come and join us for a trip to remember.
