Madness To Monaco will start on 27th Aug 2010 – 31st Aug 2010
We recommend that you travel down the night before the rally is due to start but if you are pushed for time you can travel across the channel Friday morning but you must be at the start by 8.30 am. You will then however miss the get together on the Thursday night and the informal registration.
We will be meeting in Calais on the Thursday night at about 6.30pm for registration, If then you have any questions or queries we are on hand to answer them for you. You will receive your welcome pack and documents on the Friday morning prior to the start of the rally.
Day 1 – Calais to Zurich (Approx 592miles)
We will be meeting in a car park in Calais at 8.30am to finalise everything. You will then receive your welcome packs and map, in this you will find everything you need to complete the day’s challenges and activities. The first day we will get as much driving done as possible so we can take our time on the rest of the route and enjoy the views, the drive and of course have loads of fun! We will start in Calais and will be travelling through France, down through Belgium, into Germany and finally into Switzerland, we will end up in Zurich which is one of the largest cities in Switzerland.
Day 2 – Zurich to Bormio (Approx 180miles)
We will be travelling south towards the Stelvio Pass which is located in Italy; this road has been named one of the best driving roads in the world, this road will test your car, brakes, driving skills and nerve to their full potential. There will also be breathtaking views along the way. We will be stopping in Bormio for the night. If then you want you can go back up the Stelvio Pass and have another go as we will be located right at the bottom of it.
Day 3 – Bormio to Milano (Approx 150miles)
Leaving Bormio we will be travelling west through Italy back into Switzerland to another spectacular road called the San Bernardino Pass, also classed as one of the best driving roads in Europe. Even though we will only be travelling 150 miles you part of your day will be filled with the challenges you will have to do along the way. After we have passed the San Bernardino Pass we will head south towards Milano where we will spend the night.
Day 4 – Milano to Monaco (Approx 200miles)
The final day of the trip will take us out of Italy and back into France and down to another spectacular road near Monaco called the Col De Turini and is part of the world rally championship, its one of the most difficult and dangerous stages but also one of the most exciting in the WRC. This shouldn’t be a problem for you, as you shouldn’t be dong speeds of up to 120mph like the rally cars do! Once we have conquered this stage we will then head down to Monaco for the award ceremony and final party.
