Pistons to Places 2027

Could YOU drive from St Ives in Cambridgeshire to Venice in Italy and back, in a car worth just £1,000?!
The challenge is simple: drive, explore, and give back. Pistons To Places hits the road June 25th to the 28th 2027
Why?
Nick Jones has taken part in the Rust Bucket challenges for several years, but this time he wanted to do something different — to support a local charity and create a fun, community-focused event that everyone could enjoy.
Nick and Wendy sadly lost their daughter, who was severely disabled and, at the time, didn’t have access to the kind of support that Little Miracles now provides. Having since seen the incredible work done by the charity, they wanted to give something back — to help ensure that other families receive the support they once needed but didn’t have.
How does it work?
๐ Each team/driver has to find a car for £1,000 or less
๐ You can modify it, paint it or get creative... as long as it’s road legal!
๐It’s just £275 to secure your spot, which covers your channel crossing and decals
๐ONLY 40 cars can enter – when they’re gone they’re gone!
๐ Covering 2,500 miles across Europe
๐Fundraising ask £1,000 per Team
But here’s the best bit: every mile we drive is about raising money for Little Miracles Charity. A Cambridgeshire charity supporting children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions.
This isn’t just about speed. It’s about adventure, stories, laughs, community and the difference we can make together.
Registration opens on August 1st and places will go FAST. To get involved direct message (DM) the word “VENICE” to grab your place, before it’s too late!
