Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

This event is to raise money for the above worthy charity.Details of the event are as follow:

Our journey begins at Silverstone International Racing Circuit where we meet the other teams and get to see their fancy dress ideas! As there is not an actual theme, it could prove very interesting as there are 50 teams (cars ) participating and anything goes.
After a lap of the grand prix circuit at silverstone we head to Dover for a ferry trip to calais then onto Reims (this may change as they have a marathon the day we arrive!)
The next day we travel to Munich, where we visit the BMW museum . On route, we will pass through Luxembourg and Stuttgart. After a night in Munich, we travel the longest leg of the trip back to Spa in Belgium after stopping at the Nurburgring for a couple of laps. This route will also take us through Nuremberg and Frankfurt. After a stopover in Spa, we have a private tour then a pace lap of Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.
We then head for calais for probably the most difficult and dangerous part of the journey where will have to run the gauntlet to get to the ferry port for our return to Blighty!
To expand on the "Bangers4Ben" theme, the journey has to be completed in an old banger costing less than £750 which is then donated to the charity after the event, to be auctioned off to raise more funds for the charity.  As you can see from the pictures, we have dressed the car in the "TOP GUN" theme and of course there will be Maverick and Goose as pilot and co-pilot. I will update our facebook page 'Time Tees Cars' with the progress of our journey so please keep checking daily from saturday the 10th-13th of October.

Thank You.
