The 2012 "Mission Impossible" Crumball Rally is designed to provide a fun but challenging route from NW France to Prague. The rally itself will last 3 days, although you will need to allow time to get to the start, which for this event is in Reims (which is 2.5 hours drive from Calais or Boulogne). The registration will take place in a local bar in Reims on the Thursday evening, prior to the 8.30 am start on Friday.
The event will finish with an awards ceremony in Prague on Sunday, giving teams the opportunity to either scrap the cars before flying home on Monday, (or driving back if they so choose).
You'll receive further details about the daily stages in due course, once you've registered, but to give you an idea of what punishment your chosen vehicle will have to endure, here's a rough outline of each days route:
We will all meet in a large car park on the outskirts of Reims at 8.30am where all the teams can admire / laugh / take bets on the durability of each others vehicles! The first days route will take us through the gentle rolling countryside of the Champagne and Alsace regions of France before heading into the Swiss Alpine mountains to the picturesque city of Chur.
Today, after an optional toboggan ride on the world famous Pradaschier toboggan run at over 3.1 km long, we set out straight into a series of mountain passes, culminating in the awesome Stelvio Pass. Once your brakes (and nerves) have recovered we'll then be heading north again through Austria onto the German lakeside town of Fussen.
Starting in Fussen, with the backdrop of the Neuschwanstein castle, the route winds its way to the medieval city of Regensburg, before heading over the Czech border onto Prague, for the final party and awards ceremony!
