Your Old Car’s Greatest Adventure Starts Here 🚗💨
Got an old-school car with character? A team with questionable ideas? A sense of humour that can survive dust, dirt roads, detours, fines, and a few “how hard can it be?” moments?

Then this is your sign. 🏁🔥

The CBR Midlands Banger Rally is back — and registrations are now open.

This isn’t about the fastest car. It’s not about polish, perfection, or pretending you’re in the Monaco Grand Prix. It’s about finding a pre-1990 banger, giving it some personality, rallying your crew, decorating it with maximum gees, and taking on a proper Midlands motoring adventure across public tar and dirt roads.

Expect old cars. Big laughs. Dust clouds. Team themes. In-car challenges. Out-of-car chaos. Undisclosed destinations. Prize-giving bragging rights. And stories you’ll still be telling long after the engine cools down. 😅

Bring a car with soul. Bring a co-driver who won’t panic when things get interesting. Bring your team spirit. We’ll bring the route, the memories, the mayhem, and the Cannonball Run energy.

The rally supports the Hero Burn Foundation, so every fine, laugh, and ridiculous moment helps drive something bigger than the road ahead. ❤️

📍 CBR Midlands Banger Rally
📅 21–25 October 2025
🚗 Pre-1990 vehicles
🛣️ Public tar + dirt roads
👥 2 people per entry, with extra team options available
🏁 Registrations are now open

Your banger has been waiting for its moment.
This is it.

Register now via the Cannonball Run website — spots won’t wait for your carburettor to warm up.

Tag your co-driver and start planning the most ridiculous rally car build you can get away with. 👇

Happy 100th Birthday to the legend of legendary 🎉🍻

For a century, your voice has inspired the world to protect the beauty of our planet and the incredible wildlife that calls it home. From the oceans to the African bushveld, your work has opened millions of eyes to the importance of conservation and preserving nature for future generations.
