Petrol heads are set to get in the fast lane with a challenge worthy of a slot on Top Gear.

Drivers will be buckling up and taking to the roads as part of a 1,123 mile challenge to motor from Farsley to Monte Carlo.

Some of Britain’s finest bangers will line up for a three-day trip that sees motorists take in the sights of sparkling Monaco.

Challengers are being urged to spend less than £250 on the Top Gear style challenge and burn rubber 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 Farsley 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 the worst cars from Farsley.”

Teams taking part in the challenge are being encouraged to raise money for a local charity of their choice.

Their epic journey can also be monitored back home with the help of a live GPS tracking system.

The motoring challenge has been inspired by the classic Paramount film Monte Carlo or Bust. The three-day event will see over 100 of the finest British bangers visit some of Europe’s most exciting locations.

Petrol heads will also be given the opportunity to win a collection of prizes throughout the challenge including trophies for the best – and worst – dressed teams. Monte Carlo or Bust takes place between July 12 and 14.
