Ramshackle Split is the latest banger rally feather in the Ramshackle Cap. It's going to be a good old rally with the usual mix!
The route is still provisional but will be finalised as soon as we have completed the recce mission!
The willing participants must place their trust in a hundred quid's worth of scrap metal and set off on an epic road trip covering around 1500 miles.
The rally lasts for four days as teams compete in the daily challenges to score points and simply put the team with the most points at the end of it all is the winner.
Support
Support - are you out of your mind? We could have arranged for support vehicles driven by master mechanics to follow behind with supplies, spares, caskets and the like, but we haven't. What fun would that be?
Teams taking part in this event are un-supported. That means the responsibility of looking after yourself falls strictly onto your own shoulders.
Don't worry, you'll be fine. Remember this is supposed to be a character building experience!
On Your Marks...
The rally itself runs from the 12th - 15th September 2008. Registration will take place the evening before the start of the rally so you should aim to be in Calais by the evening of the 11th September 2008.
Details about scrapyards etc will be announced as soon as we have them but teams should expect scrapping to be done in the morning of the 16th September 2008.
Theme Your Team
Giving your banger a seriously flashy paint job is all part of enjoying the rally. There will be a prize awarded to the team with the best overall theme taking the banger and the team members into account.
This prize will be judged on originality so there's no need to worry if you're no Picasso. Put your creative caps on and let's make this into the biggest mobile fancy dress party in the world!
