What is Rust 2 Rome ?
Rust to Rome is an adventure! It's a 2 week long 3000 mile trip from Scotland to Rome. The Rust part comes from the rule stating that your car should cost no more than £250.
Who can apply ?
Anyone with a sense of adventure and a car that meets the requirements. A driving licence would be good too. There is no upper or lower age limit and you can take as many co-pilots as you want.
Who organizes it ?
Rust 2 Rome is organzied and run by Marko Fleming.
Contact Marko: marko@rust2rome.com
How do I join ?
We have a limited amount of spaces available so go to the Sign up page and fill out all the details so we can consider you for a place. Once your application has been approved, we require payment which will cover the cost of your Drivers pack.
What number can I be ?
You will be issued a number based on the date of your application. Marko is number 01 as he did the first R2R trip in 2005. Members of R2R 2006 have been allocated numbers 02 - 04. The first people to sign up for Rust to Rome 2007 will be allocated numbers from 05 onwards....
What do I need to go on the Rally ?
Guts of steel and determination. Oh and some money and a car would help. You need to have a qualifying car. The maximum you can spend on your car is £250 this includes any work to get it through an MOT, but it excludes the actual cost of a MOT and Tax. So for example if you buy a car for £200 and you spend £60 on work to pass an MOT it wouldnt be eligable. If on the other hand you buy a car with MOT for £200 and you Tax it then you would still have £50 to spend on the car. So you could get yourself some furry dice, a nice radio or a seat cover !
