The pioneers of the Plymouth Dakar Banger Challenge, Follow the greenest and grubbiest banger challenge ever. Start your diesel engines for the summer drive to the beaches of Greece, powered by waste cooking fat scavengened from restaurants and burger bars en-route. Yes, we’ll be filling the tanks from chip fryers and schnitzel shops all the way down through Europe. The challenge is to "Fat-Find" your way from the UK to the Mediterranean without using fossil fuels, and The Golden Lard Award awaits those that make it all the way on waste vegetable oil. Some teams will be running on pure grease, while others will be brewing up biodiesel from they fat they find on the way. The 2-week trip, departs on August 16th: Diesel cars don't need to be converted to take part but it will be an advantage if they are. 2008 is the first time this has been attempted, and all fat-finding novices and pioneers are welcome. If you can't join us for the entire trip then come and see us off from the Ace Cafe, North London on the 16th at 4pm and join us for the Sausage Smoke Cruise, through London following the Thames. In the words of John Lennon; "Give Grease a Chance" |
