The Rules

There are a number of rules that we expect you to comply with during the tour. Any team that does not follow these rules will be disqualified.

Drive Safely — Drive within your own limits, the limits of your passengers, the limits of your car, and giving due care and attention to other road users. Also drive according to the law.

MOT & Insurance — You must have full MOT and insurance documentation with you when you travel. There’s more information about how to get short term insurance on the FAQ page.

Condition of Vehicle — Your car must be fit for the road, and have a valid MOT for the duration of the tour. It should also be able to pass any police spot check.

Insurance — The car and drivers must have a valid car insurance to drive in the UK and Europe. We would also recommend break down cover.

Driving Licence — All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and have held it for at least 1 year. ALCOHOL – Alcohol must not be consumed in the car, not even by non-drivers.

The Car — Vehicles classed as bangers must cost £250 or less. Vehicles worth more than this may participate but will not be eligible for most prizes.

Foreign Complience — Whilst we will be sending you information on this, it is the responsibility of each team to know and comply with any applicable driving laws of any country they may visit. Some countries require certain safety equipment to be on board.

Communication — There should be at least one roaming enabled mobile phone per car so that you can call us in case of an emergency and we can update you on the progress of the tour.

Disposing of your Banger — If you wish to dispose of your car once you have reached the destination we will give you directions to a local scrap yard. It is the responsibility of you and your team to dispose of the car legally and safely – don’t leave it in an airport car park!

Racing — This is a tour, not a race. Cars found to be racing each other or driving recklessly will be disqualified.

All participants will be required to sign an indemnity agreeing to the above rules and indemnifying the organisers of the event.
