2018 marks the 10th anniversary of Bangers4Ben, an epic 4 day road trip across Europe raising funds for the automotive charity Ben. In order to qualify the teams must buy a car for less than £750, paint or decal it, complete the rally, and then sell it at auction for as much as possible.
In 2017 Banger4Ben raised an impressive £59,000!
This year we provided one of our business partners, Ivendi, with the cars that they needed to take part! The crew from Ivendi are a great bunch and chose to dress as superheroes, aptly naming their team the i-vengers!

Stuttgart to Brugge, Belgium (402 miles) Today the drivers will travel through the 'Venice of the North', Brugge, surrounded by some beautiful architecture, canals and cobbled streets.
Day 4
Monday 8th October
Brugge, Belgium to Corby, UK (266 miles) The teams got on the ferry over the Channel to face the final challenge; a Top Gear-style track day! Sadly not all of the cars were up to the challenge.
