Looking more at the Rallies and also signed up to some of the face-book groups, first impressing on the fireball rally is "is it a banger rally" with post like :
We liked the idea of the destination but I have the fear that as they don't have a limit on cost of car they will attract amateur teams with rolling support crews and £10,000 of gear.
When I did the 4x4 offloading the hobby was the same, some peoples ideas of shoestring budget are just silly, but then again if for the offroad you could afford a brand new 4x4 just to tow a custom built Bowler about it;s not lo-cost.
We want to do this for the animals and have fun not blow £10k on motor sport, we don't own a garage franchise and are not using it as a marketing gimmick.
So back to drawing board.
We are looking for a rally Mid 2016 with a limit on cost of Vehicle that can be entered, starting north Europe or UK and lasting 4-6 day so we can get back to UK in 10-14.
