Organisers of the Monte Carlo or Bust Banger Rally are hoping to find a team from the Rye area to enter this year’s event and cover the 874 miles to Monte Carlo via France, Switzerland and Italy.

The rally challenges entrants to source a banger car for less than £250 and take part in a variety of Top Gear-style challenges along the way and compete for points and prizes.

There are prizes for the best and worst dressed teams.

Rally spokesperson, Cuthbert Ware-Armitage said: “This is a brilliant opportunity to get your team into gear and experience some of the greatest roads in Europe in some of worst cars from Rye!”

Monte Carlo or Bust takes place between 12-14 of July and more information can be found on the event website at www.montecarloorbust.eu.
