Cannonball Run Europe is an illegal annual 2,500 mile (4,200 km) international motor rally which takes place on public roads
with a different route across Europe each year. The route is kept secret and only revealed to drivers at the start of each day of the six-day event, which historically includes time spent at a world-class circuit.[1][2][3]
Founded in 2002, it is renowned alongside Gumball 3000 as one of the original events of its kind.[4]
Cars entered include a mix of luxury high-end marques; Bentleys, Porsches, Ferraris[5] and often something quirky; the 2008 Run was won by two English drivers in a Brabus edition Smart.[6]
Cannonball Run Europe has been criticised in the press with drivers being stopped for speeding, having their driving licences taken by police and their cars confiscated.[5][7]
