Newquay Trabant Retro Rally

Overview:
Colin McRae, kiss my exhaust pipe. You can forget your MKII Escorts, Audi Quattros and RS 200s - this is a retro rally, Russian style. Here's your chance to put your driving skills to the test behind the wheel of a rubber band powered Hungarian shoe box.

The Cars:
You've heard all the jokes about Ladas and Skodas? Well they've got nothing on the Trabant. This car is the epitome of East German engineering skills (or lack thereof!): an assembly of tin plate and bolts with less oomph than a wheel barrow on tranquilisers. That, however, along with the fact this little beast had an ordering time measured in centuries and was the only car you could get before the wall came down, has made this vehicle an all-time classic.

The Lowdown:
We organise one car per two guys and meet downtown at the Economic University. Once the cars are tuned up and the local rally guys show you around the sophisticated equipment, we lead you along the banks of the Danube through Budapest and up into the scenic Pilis Mountains to a place called Dobogóko (Beating Heart). Enjoy some racing and passing your mates at ridiculously low speeds!

Lunch:
The event includes a hearty Hungarian lunch at a country pub situated in the Pilis mountains.

What's Included:
- Transport to and from meeting point
- 1 Trabant for every two guys
- Lunch at countryside restaurant
- Guides 
- 1 beer- Support car

Duration:
- Allow approximately 4-5 hours

Notes:
- You should not expect this event to be real rally driving - more of a jaunt into the Hungarian mountains with a bit of boy racing. A top laugh!
- A valid driver's license is required for each driver (there are no restrictions for passengers).

Even better. After the rally most of the boys were considering buying a trabant and driving it home!!

This part was brilliant... the cars were loads of fun, if a bit terrifying! None of us really knew what it was we were going to do though - We all thought we were going to a track somewhere to race the cars rather than driving them on the streets! Great fun though and the restaurant was really good too
