What is Coast Roast?
It's a classic banger rally with 50 or 60 teams criss-crossing England this summer. And it's one of the cheaper rallies to enter and participate in.
19th to 23rd June. Hopefully the sun will be shining.
Where is it?
Day 1 starts in Skegness (the sun really better had be shining then) and finishes in Whitley Bay, Day 2 is Whitley Bay to Falmouth, Day 3 is Falmouth to Margate and Day 4 starts in Margate and ends up back in sunny Skegness.
How much does it cost?
The entry fee is £100 if you mention Speedmonkey. Of course, you've got to pay for your fuel and accommodation, and the car - unless you've already got a classic banger. And then there's 4 days worth of Ginsters pies and Red Bull to keep your body in tip top condition.
