Description



Our most popular route and sold out every year since it began in 2014, you would be mad to not want a slice of Black Forest Gateau! Beginning in Namur, Belgium and finishing in Monte Carlo via 6 countries. Sights include the Black Forest, Lake Como and the incredible Gotthard pass.

Registration evening: Thursday – Namur, Belgium
Black Forest Gateau starts in the capital of Wallonia, Namur. The town is famous for its small cobbled streets, lively squares and huge selection of cured meats and beers. Namur is approximately 2.5 hours from Calais. All teams are required to register the night before the event at the rendezvous spot between 19:00 and 00:00.

Day One: Friday – Namur to Freiburg
Day one includes an optional stop at Bastogne a famous battle site of WWII. Back on the road your banger will drive through the beautiful valleys of Luxemburg – remembering to fill the tank with some of the cheapest fuel in Europe. We end the day amongst the mountains of the Black Forest in Freiburg. Here we’ll find delicious food, wonderful scenery, saunas and lake swimming.

Day Two: Saturday – Freiburg to Lake Como
Day two sees us cross the border into Switzerland and enjoy the alpine roads and mountain passes as we cross one of Europe’s most beautiful countries. The green hills and valleys turn to snow-capped mountains as head further South and we’ll keep a low gear as we head up to the Gotthard Pass and descend via some adrenaline- pumping twists and turns and cross the Devil’s Bridge. We finish our day on the shore of Lake Como and the beautiful town of Menaggio. Here we’ll watch the sun set over the water and sample the excellent local food and wine.

Day Three: Sunday – Lake Como to Monte Carlo
Day three starts with an optional trip on a car ferry across the lake. From here we’ll drive through the Italian countryside. Some may be tempted by a stop at Monza on the way. Once on the main roads we’ll wind through the magnificent scenery and head for the sea to meet up with the coastal road E80 and experience spectacular scenery as we cruise across the border into France. A few more mountain turns and you’ll be crossing the finish line in Monte Carlo! What better way to finish than having a quick lap of the F1 circuit and then cruising past a Bentley at the Casino.

With the rally and challenges officially over we ask you to join us in Nice where we’ll be spending the evening.

Organised by

Buy a car for £500 or less and drive to some of Europe’s most exciting locations on spectacular roads with backdrops of sun, mountains, sea, sand…and even snow!  As featured in The Sunday Times and Sky Sports, Bust Rallies are designed for those with a strong sense of excitement and adventure.

Our fun-filled journeys through spectacular settings are open to groups of two or more and provide the ideal setting for a fun weekend, a celebration or fundraising for your favorite charity.

You do not need a reason to take part – just a driving licence, appropriate insurance, a car and some sense of direction (very little in many cases!).? A penchant for fancy dress may also be useful.

Racing is off the cards as you concentrate on solving daily challenges, both on and off the road, competing for a variety of prizes and regrouping each evening at the Rally Rendezvous to relax, socialise and explore the local area.Our events usually last for 3 days over a weekend. All teams are asked to arrive at the start location on the Thursday evening for pre-rally registration. At registration we’ll allocate the starting grid giving an advantage to older cars and smaller engine sizes.

The event starts early on Friday morning as our cars roll across the start line and begin their amazing driving adventure.

After crossing the finishing line, we encourage all teams in join us for the final night awards presentations where we’ll reveal the final points totals and winners of other prizes.

After the rally you may choose to get your banger crushed and head home by other means.  Or perhaps you’ll add a couple of days to your stay allowing you to kick back and relax. The bravest of the brave may opt to throw caution to the wind and drive their trusty steed back home!

The Bust team will be on hand before, during and after the rally to provide you with any support you may need. Each event is limited to 75 teams. So, what are you waiting for?! Register now and join us for a banger-car-crazy weekend of a lifetime!
