We are a professional event and tour organiser. Wacky Rally has been running for 15 years. These events are a culmination of our own passion and experiences. The organisers are the Pit Crew.

A week of bad ideas with people who get it. For years that meant a cheap car, wet paint, and a long drive across Europe. Next time, leave the banger at home. The ride is on us, and it comes with someone who knows which end is the front. You bring the crew, the costumes, and the bad ideas. Islands, challenges, meet-ups, and a bit of strictly recreational piracy.

This is an old road-rally question. Next time you are not bringing a car.

On those road rallies, most cars made it, and fellow ralliers usually came to your aid. If you were really worried, people like the AA offered European cover. The main thing was it was an adventure.

Old road rallies only. Next time, leave the banger at home.

On those events your car should be cheap — after all it was a banger rally. How much you spent on emulsion, a novelty horn, lights and smoke was down to you. If it was not a banger, the other contestants would judge you harder than we ever did.

Next one isn’t priced yet. Dates when we’re ready. Hop on the waitlist if you want first shout.

On previous road rallies, entry covered the event extras (shirts, stickers, challenges, a crack at the trophies) and we could sort vetted hotels if you wanted a bed. What that looks like next time depends on the rally.

Old road rallies only. Next time you do not need a car at all.

On those events, yes you could use your own, but it was more fun if you wackied it up, even if that was just a few stickers.

Old road rallies only.

Ebay, Autotrader, local garages, roadside bargains. Filter by price and distance. Those cars needed a valid MOT until the end of the rally.

Old road rallies only.

On those trips nearly all cars made it. If it ran without too much clunking and smoke, and the brakes and clutch were in good order, it was usually fine for a long haul across Europe.

There are a few out there. On the old road rallies we kept tolls down where we could, found a venue every night, and threw in challenges. Next time the ride is different, but the chaos is the same. You’ll be the judge.

Not for next time. You will not be rebuilding an engine on the hard shoulder.

On the old road rallies we suggested a car manual and the rest of the field usually helped if something went bang.

Next time we will send a kit list when we open it. Costumes still encouraged.

On the old road rallies you needed insurance, MOT, driving licence, warning triangle, luminous jackets, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and you were not allowed to drive in France in high heels.

On the old road rallies it was your job to insure you, the car, and every driver. Next time we will tell you what cover you actually need when there is something to book.

If you cancel a paid entry within seven days of booking we will refund you in full. There is nothing to cancel right now.

The answer to all of the above is yes.

On the old road rallies the minimum was two drivers, for safety and so you were not on your tod if the car sulked. Next time we will confirm crew numbers when we open booking. Non-drivers were always welcome as long as the car had two drivers.

On the old road rallies, support was mostly each other. We did not have breakdown cover, but we would tell the field where you were. Next time someone else is driving. We will still look after you.

On the old road rallies, a current map of the countries you were actually driving through beat a sulking sat nav. Next time you may not need a car at all.

No. Next time you do not buy, decorate, or drag a banger across Europe. Leave it at home. The ride is on us.

No booking yet. This is a waitlist, not a place. When we open it, we’ll say so here and on the homepage.

There isn’t one, because there isn’t a booking window yet. When the next rally opens, places will be limited and sooner is better.

Old road rallies only. No official theme, just don’t offend anyone in the countries you were driving through. Next time, bring costumes. Leave the emulsion.

We’ll tell you when there’s something to pay. Nothing to buy right now.

Anyone and everyone.

You must be at least 18 years old on the first day of the event. Obey the laws of wherever you are. Don’t be a moron. On the old road rallies we also asked for two licensed drivers per car. Next time we’ll spell out the crew rules when we open booking.

We welcome anyone from any country and you are very welcome and encouraged to join.

On previous rallies we vetted hotels and could sort rates. Next time, we’ll confirm with the details.

Yes. If you are a moron you will be sent to Coventry. Being a moron means disrespecting or abusing anyone on the rally (if you don’t like someone, talk to other people). Drinking is not an excuse for being a numpty. Do not mess with someone else’s kit. Some people are doing this to raise money for charity. Don’t be the story they tell later.

Old road rallies only. Next time there is no scrappy, because there is no banger.

On those events a scrappy would give you 50 euros, stamp the paperwork, and get you to a hotel or airport. Driving it home was fine too.

Email info@wackyrally.co.uk and we’ll answer it. If the answer is likely to be useful to other people we will put it here.
