Cannonball Run Europe....
Discussion
Although, we're having a 'low key' start to this year's Cannonball Run, get down to the Oatlands Park Hotel on Friday 6th July around 4pm, and be among the first to hear the incredible stories of our 6 day, 8 country, 3000 mile adventure.
The run this year has changed considerably, since the Gumball 'incident' and runs & rallies will now HAVE to conform to various, stringent rules. It would be foolish not to take note of the comments that have been posted regarding the bigger, more established run & rallies. The Cannonball Run Europe has decided to embrace driving enthusiasts, wanting to establish a run that satisfies the needs of car fans and not of those whose only objective is to drive as fast as they can without any regard for laws & other road users.
So, a new begining is on offer this year & years to come, camaradarie is the name of the game (as well as some pretty spectacular parties) & we're all looking forward to a safe & stress free run for all involved.

Oh Yes.
Just depends on how wet it is as to whether it's in the Ultima or not.
Say, what cars have you got going this year?

Hi Pete, last years 'Spirit of the Cannonball Winner!!!Just depends on how wet it is as to whether it's in the Ultima or not.

No Ultimas this year but around 55 cars ranging from Ferrari 430, Gallardo, Aerial Atom to Monaros, 911's & the usual plethora of BMW's. Some amazing venues & parties arranged this year & one hell of a track day. Will good to see you & that car of yours around 2pm on Sunday.
This is my first post on PistonHeads.
It's been a good month in the South East of England with the Festival of speed, Brookland Centenary, Goodwood Breakfast supercars and the start of the CannonBall Run.
Here are my pictures of the start of the cannonball run, I hope you like them and that I haven't made too many mistakes missidentifying the cars.

Still sorting through my pics from the start, should've used a different lens though when they were on the move.
All my photo's can be found on my Zenfolio account once uploaded http://rallyrider.zenfolio.com/p134855754/ and also on my main site when I get the time to code it.

WOW, 10 countries, 3000 miles, 6 days and less than €500 in fines between over 100 drivers! 
Returned back to the UK on Friday night and have only just recovered. The run couldn't have gone smoother, lot's of rain (We all pitied the guys in the Aerial Atom, he didnt bring his side panels either
). Wonderful weather at the Hungaroring (driving an F1 track was a bit special) but did lose the Ferrari 360 Modena 
The parties were amazing too as were ALL the drivers, co-drivers & staff.
Roll on next year, It's gonna be a good'un
