Bratislava or Bust

Fancy having the adventure of a lifetime with 1 car, a few mates and 7 days?

Starting in Northern France, take your car over the Stelvio Pass and through Europe down to Slovakia. Not only that but take on top secret daily challenges to work towards being crowned King of the rally.

This promises to be an unforgettable week of meeting people, pushing your limits and having the adventure of a lifetime.

There will be prizes on offer for teams that have the best decorated car, ‘least likely to make it’, the team that has the most points for each of the seven days and team that has the most points during the adventure as a whole. Once you reach Bratislava you can either turn round and have a road trip back, try and sell your car on or we’ll help you scrap the vehicle and you can fly back home.

Bratislava or Bust is most definitely and adventure on four wheels and promises and unforgettable road trip to begin your summer, so get your car, grab some friends and lets get going!

What about my car?

Entrants will agree to spend no more than £500 on their car (although obviously you can go much cheaper), or purchase a car that is older than the oldest team member. There is no limit to how much you can spend decorating it!

What’s all this about secret challenges?

Each morning your car will receive a sealed envelope from our man in the white coat. Inside you
will find a series of challenges of differing difficulties to complete in different geographic locations
and different types of challenges. The harder the top secret challenge is to complete the more
rally points that will be on offer.
The more rally points that you have at the end of the day means you’ll be more likely to win the
daily prize and eventually the overall rally prize. Its up to you what strategy you employ when it
comes to completing the daily challenges.
