Welcome to The Crumball Rally Co, 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, humour (and possibly a toolkit) as you and your team have to crunch the miles either in a banger costing no more than a measly £200, or a small engine convertible.
Plenty of people complete the events for charity, while others just like an excuse to paint and customise 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 - 11 - 12 MAY 2018
(Banger and Ragtop Tour)
If you don’t fancy a trip in a banger and you have a small engine roadster in the garage (or need an excuse to buy one!), after successful outings in 2010, 2012 and 2014, we will again be running a trip for “Ragtops” down to the Monaco Historic Grand Prix in May. We define a ragtop as any open topped car with an engine capacity up to 2500cc. There is no age limit so moderns and classics are equally welcome alongside the traditional bangers.
“Grand Prix” is the budget driving tour for “top-down”driving and motorsport enthusiasts, crowned off of course with a visit to the Monaco Historic Grand Prix, which over the last few years has established itself as the pre-eminent world historic F1 meeting - with arguably more character and undoubtedly less cost that the modern race run two weeks later in Monte Carlo.
Brought to you by The Crumball Rally team, this is a relaxed tour that won't cost a fortune, but gives a fantastic experience to share with fellow roadster fans, from alpine passes to lakeside chicanes to racing circuits of the past and present.
Are you up for it?...whether you do it for charity, for the challenge, or simply for a bit of fun, get yourself a banger or a ‘ragtop’ and join us for a trip to remember.
Returning for the fifth time, (following a sell-out in 2009, 2012, 2013 and 2016) is the "Mission Impossible" rally, an event 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 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.
