Description



The original and now legendary route that has sold out every year since it began in 2013, how can you resist taking a taste of Champagne Charlie. Beginning in St.Quentin, France and finishing in Monte Carlo via Switzerland and Italy. Sights include the Champagne region, Torino motor museum, the dizzying heights of St. Bernard’s Pass and beautiful Lake Geneva.

Registration evening: Thursday – Saint-Quentin, France
Champagne Charlie starts in the beautiful Roman city of Saint-Quentin. Saint-Quentin is approximately 2.00 hours from Calais. All teams are required to register the night before the race at the rendezvous spot between 19:00 and 00:00.

Day One: Friday – Saint-Quentin to Dijon
Day one includes a visit to the Reims-Gueux racing circuit, a fantastic flash back to the glory days of French motor racing. Back on the road your banger will drive through the beautiful Champagne region – but the only team popping any corks will be the winners of the Sir Cuthbert’s daily challenge. We end the day in Dijon, the capital of Burgundy and home to the best wine growing fields in the world. After checking in you’ll have plenty of time to get yourselves fed and watered before joining up with our second night Rally Rendezvous.

Day Two: Saturday – Dijon to Turin
Day two allows you to experience the very best driving in Europe. We burn rubber and brakes into Switzerland, around the magnificent Lake Geneva, before conquering the Alps over the mighty Grand St. Bernard Pass. We’ll go from sunny streets to snow-capped mountains in minutes as you climb one of the driving wonders of the world. Take a break at the top to give your baby a breather…snowball fights are optional…but encouraged. Cruise down the mountains into Italy and the grand boulevards of Turin. It’s the home city of Fiat – so any suffering Pandas or Cinquecentos may be in luck.

Day Three: Sunday – Turin to Monte Carlo
Day three starts with a gathering at the Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile (The National Automobile Museum) home to over 200 bella motors. Once on the road we’ll wind through the magnificent countryside 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. The final Rendezvous includes presentations, speeches and a few other surprises – not to be missed!

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!
