Cornwall’s 2017 Monte Carlo or Bust Banger Rally is open for entries.

Teams will burn rubber for over 1,100 miles to Monte Carlo via France, Switzerland and Italy to raise money for charity. 

The rally challenges entrants to source a car for less than £500 and take part in a variety of fun activities along the way competing for points and prizes. 

Teams are encouraged to raise money for a local charity of their choice and can share their progress with supporters back home via live GPS tracking. 

The three-day crusade will see more than 100 British bangers visit some of Europe’s most exciting locations.

Previous participants have raised more than £300,000 for UK charities and received media coverage. 

Rally spokesperson Cuthbert Ware-Armitage – whose namesake was a character played by Terry-Thomas in the 1965 film Monte Carlo or Bust said: ‘This is a brilliant opportunity to get your team into gear and experience some of the greatest roads in Europe in some of worst cars from Cornwall!’

Monte Carlo or Bust takes place in June and more information can be found on the event website at www.montecarloorbustrally.com
