Brendon Cross is encouraging telco teams to sign up to the 2022 Twin Town Challenge which was postponed last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
With 50 additional places available the STL Managing Director hopes to hit a £1m fundraising target for Charlbury-based charity SpecialEffect.
This will be the fourth and final iteration of the event which has so far raised £800,000 for the charity, which helps bring fun and inclusivity into the lives of those with physical disabilities.
The challenge will see teams drive in £500 ‘bangers’ from Witney to its twin town of Le Touquet in France between 29th April to 2nd May 2022 ending with a street party attended by locals.
Cross said: “This is the final ever Twin Town Challenge and the more cars that participate, the more likely it is that we will hit our fundraising target for SpecialEffect of over £1m.
“All the costs of the event will be covered by sponsorship, which means that every pound paid by the teams in entry fees as well as the fundraising by the teams, goes straight to the charity.”
The theme for drivers is ‘Battle of the Bands’. Cross added: “We’re looking forward to seeing people dressed as Abba, Village People, Spice Girls and Queen driving around northern France in London taxis and stretched limos as well as more ordinary vehicles specially decorated for the event.”
