What is Barcelona Bangers?

Barcelona Bangers was established in 2005 to give everyone who likes cars, travelling and having fun an opportunity to combine all three! In order to enter Barcelona Bangers your car must be worth less than £200, many teams will enter Barcelona Bangers for the purpose of raising funds for charity and having fun whilst doing so, but if you want to enter just for fun that's entirely up to you!

Barcelona Bangers is ideal for people who would love to drive across Europe in a very cheap car and have fun on the way. The rally is spread over a long weekend from Friday 11th September 2009 to Sunday 13th September 2009 so should not affect work commitments. Barcelona Bangers is not a race, but a fun experience of driving through Europe with a great bunch of people in a car that will hopefully make it!

Charity

During the successful 2006, 2007 and 2008 rallies, the teams raised over £20,000, £25,000 & £30,000 in total respectively for their local charities, you do not have to raise money to join us, but you are more than welcome to! We had a good mixture of teams in 2006, 2007 & 2008 and couples and female teams are welcome again for 2009.

Prizes

The teams will be set challenges on each day with points to collect en route, the team with the most points each day will receive a prize, and the team with the overall most points at the end in Barcelona will receive the main prize. Collecting the points will not be about who gets to the next stage the fastest, it will be a methodical challenge for the driver and passengers!
