What will be the manufacturer of the car winning the Cannonball Run Europe?

Settled as Other

Who of us does not want to drive one of those cars? Okay, I'm grow up and became liable but still ... it's a young man's dream - like the movie with Burt Reynolds we've all seen (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082136/).

If you've got some dollars to spend (real dollars, not H$), and you've got a fast car: Go for it - have fun, don't let the police get you (or just pay those silly fines:)

This year's Cannonball Run Europe is coming up...

Because it's impossible to know, who will participate, I'll rather ask what kind of car will win the race this year. To be precise: What manufacturer will the car be which will win the race?

"The event kicks off from the UK on Sunday 6th July, finishing on Friday 12th July with the notorious Final Night Party."

I used the manufacturers mentioned in the articles describing previous events. Although they published the top 3 winners of last year, I'm not sure they will publish them this year.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source or here: http://www.cannonballruneurope.co.uk/

Great question, if you are into the Cannonball Run, I hope you caught the article in Wired magazine awhile back. One of my coworkers saw it and knew I'd be interested. It's amazing the expense that some of the competitors go through for it.
