The Windy 500 European Banger Rally

More vehicles join the rally.

The challenge of visiting 23 countries in 23 days on the Windy 500 is capturing more people’s imaginations. A 1961 Morris Minor has been found in a barn and is now being lovingly restored by Team Red 5 to roadworthiness in preparation for June 2013. The raw 950cc of elderly British engineering is chomping at the bit to get at those European mountain ranges. Meanwhile, Team 25 have acquired a London Taxi. Plenty of leg room for these two Weymouth based pioneers.

Team 17 are the Black Rats, our only motorcycle team so far. 4 restored BMW bikes with support van. Based in Poole, they have been road testing the bikes as far as Wales and Scotland. 

There are still spaces available on The Windy 500. 23 nights from June 14th 2013, or the condensed 2 week version, The Windy Lite. It shall be leaving Weymouth Pavilion following a charity band night send off on the Friday evening. If you feel you may have what it takes to take on the Windy 500 challenge, please check out the website www.windy500.co.uk or contact the organiser Steve Blackmore on 07980 005469.
