PEOPLE in South Gloucestershire are invited to take part in a "Top Gear style" driving challenge across Europe.  

The 2017 Monte Carlo or Bust Banger Rally is currently open for entries, and organisers are looking for teams from South Gloucestershire to take part and raise money for a charity of their own choice.

The rally challenges entrants to source a car for less than £500 and compete for points and prizes in a three-day crusade to Monte Carlo via France, Switzerland and Italy.

Rally spokesperson, Cuthbert Ware-Armitage, said: “I am laying down the challenge to the good people of South Gloucestershire to join me on Europe’s ultimate banger rally adventure.

"This is a brilliant opportunity to get your team into gear and experience some of the greatest roads in Europe in some of worst cars from South Gloucestershire!”
