BUDAPEST RETRO EASTERN BLOCK RALLY AND HUNGARIAN COUNTRY PUB LUNCH
Overview:
If your hen party includes a few wild drivers and closet petrol heads then they will love this - 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:
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 people and meet downtown. 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). There you can take in the scenery and enjoy a hearty Hungarian lunch before hopping back in the Trabants and taking a different route back to Budapest. Enjoy some ‘racing’ and passing your friends at ridiculously low speeds!
Lunch:
The event includes a hearty Hungarian lunch at a country pub situated in the Pilis mountains.
What’s Included:
- 1 Trabant for every two people

Notes:
- You should not expect this event to be real rally driving - more of a jaunt into the Hungarian mountains with a bit of racing. A top laugh!
