Welcome to Monte Carlo or Bust, the ultimate charity road trip where everyday people become adventurers, fundraisers and part of an unforgettable convoy travelling from Holyport, Berkshire to Monte Carlo — all in cars costing £1,000 or less.
This isn’t a race. It’s a journey, a community and an experience you’ll never forget.
Monte Carlo or Bust is a 9‑day charity rally designed for anyone with a sense of fun and a desire to make a difference. Drivers team up in budget‑friendly cars — customised, themed or proudly wearing the colours of the UK, Monaco and the Monte Carlo or Bust logo — and follow a spectacular route across England and France in a light‑hearted convoy inspired by the classic film Convoy.
This event brings together:
If you’ve got a driving licence and a sense of humour, you’re in.
At its heart, Monte Carlo or Bust is a fundraising challenge. Each team raises money for charity while enjoying one of the most memorable road trips of their lives. It’s adventure with purpose — a chance to explore, connect and help make a real difference.
We drive together, support each other and celebrate the journey. It’s all about shared stories and the joy of seeing a colourful parade of cars winding across Europe.
At each major stop along the route, teams come together for group photos — perfect for social media, memories and showing supporters back home how the adventure is unfolding.
Most evenings, participants gather for a relaxed group meal to swap stories, make new friends and enjoy the unique spirit of the rally community.
Absolutely anyone. You don’t need mechanical skills, rally experience or a fast car. In fact, the cheaper the car, the better the story.
Bring your partner. Bring a friend. Bring your dad. Or come alone and meet friends along the way. Teams can share cars to keep costs down.
Whether you’re in it for the cause, the adventure or the stories you’ll tell for years, Monte Carlo or Bust is waiting.
Start your engines. Join the convoy. Make a difference.
Monte Carlo or Bust – let the adventure begin!
