Sucata Charity Banger Rallies

February 3, 2012 by Fraser Leave a Comment

1,000+ miles in 4 days, in fancy dress and bangers worth less than £350!

Sucata Rallies are bargain-basement-banger rally tours, where participants drive to some of Europe’s most incredible destinations, over 4 days, in bangers costing no more than £350. And in fancy dress! The rally raises money for international education charity Gemin-i, helping to support their HIV education project. Gemin-i is an educational charity connecting schools around the world, in order to enable young people to understand global issues and work together for a brighter future.

This year, the Sucata Rallies will rattle through three incredible routes across Europe: from ancient cities to buzzing beer halls and from surf beaches to lakes via scenic mountains. There’s a Sucata rally for every type of banger!

The Routes:

  • SUCATA SPLIT (to Croatia)
    The tour heads East from Bruges, in Belgium, to the stunning Split in Croatia. En route we stop in the stunning medieval city of Strasbourg; Munich, the Bavarian capital of Germany with it’s Lederhosen and the world’s most famous Beer Hall – the Hofbräuhaus; and the beautiful Ljubljana, capital of Europe’s most underrated country Slovenia.
  • SUCATA BUDAPEST
    The adventure begins in Reims, northern France (the capital of the Champagne region! Hiccup…), and travels to enchanting Budapest, the undisputed ‘Pearl of the Danube’ where East meets West and Sucateers meet the finish line! En route we stop at Freiburg – a lively city in the depths of the Black Forest; Lake Como – nestled in the lush mountains of Lombardy; and Salzburg, a beautiful baroque city perched on the edge of the Alps.
  • SUCATA RUN (to Portugal)
    The bangers ramble from Rouen, the stunning capital of Normandy, to Cabo de Roca, in Portugal – Europe’s most westerly point. On the way we pass through La Rochelle, the most unspoilt seaside town of France, San Sebastian, the Spanish summer surf capital, and the beautiful Salamanca, an ancient gem and Spain’s original party city.


Every participant is asked to raise a minimum of £250 for Gemin-i’s HIV360º education project. 100% of the money raised by participants goes directly to Gemin-i – there are no third parties involved. The HIV360º project helps children around the world to learn about HIV and AIDS, how they can protect themselves and supports them to challenge stigma and discrimination against HIV and AIDS sufferers.

Join the rest of the Sucateers as they splutter their way across Europe in the trip of a lifetime!
