 “Without a doubt, this should be on everyone’s ‘to do’ list before they die. What more can you ask for, the best driving roads in Europe ,track day on an F1 circuit, 5 star hotels, VIP nightclubs, new friendships that will last a lifetime and to top it off the organizing committee headed by Jan think of everything!!!! The definition of a true Cannonballer – One who drives fast and party’s harder………!!   See you on the start line in 2011!”
Alex F,  Aston Martin Vantage 2010

“What can I say?  Truly one of the most memorable weeks of my life.  Some serious cars, some great roads to drive on,  one amazing F1 track and some colourful,  interesting people (to say the least!).  5* all the way, from beginning to end.  Great fun both on and off the road.  If you have an opportunity to do the Cannonball  Run do not pass it up.  One thing’s for sure, you will have some great stories to tell for a long time to come!!”
Wendel A, Jaguar XKR, 2010

Before going on the Cannonball Run 2010 I knew it would be fun but I didn't realise quite how much fun it would be! Every single day was filled with incredible drives, and the nights packed with brilliant parties and food (and of course drink!) The people and the organization of the event was second to none, hence why I'm already signed up for 2011!
Jan and Andy have added a new annual event to my calendar that’s for sure!
Guy H, Mercedes C63 AMG, 2010

From the day you leave the UK until the day you arrive back, it is just the best week you can ever have on four wheels!  The attention to detail from Jan is second to none.  Nothing can beat driving with the top down while cruising through Europe's most beautiful countryside in glorious sunshine knowing there will be a five star hotel waiting for you at the end!
It’s hard to choose the highlight! Was it: ………
….driving around Monza Formula 1 track, the 5 Star hotels, great food, drink, VIP Nightclubs, gorgeous check-point girls, meeting great fellow Cannonballers that will remain friends for life?  Or was it all of them?
I would not hesitate in recommending this experience to everyone.  Can’t wait until 2011, we will back!
Howard & Amanda, Porsche 911 4S Cabriolet, 2010

The mix of exotic cars, hardcore driving on amazing roads, nice people and partying in an exclusive atmosphere in some of Europe's most beautiful places - This made the week of Cannonball Run Europe a memory of a lifetime for me!  Sign up for the next event, and get blown away by the experience!
Espen B, Norway, BMW M3 2009, Audi A8 2010

“Quite simply one of, if not the best experience of my life – Awesome. 
I remember calling Jan with the enquiry... "I would have the time/drive of my life", I was told me, my God, she was not wrong!   The atmosphere, laughs, jokes, banter and stories amongst the "’ballers" is incredible, the Cars are spectacular and the roads/views are equally as good, (Bobbio to Rapallo, breath taking!). Hotels are stunning, venues top class, and the Track Day - well this year it was Monza and lets face it, you don't get much better than that.  All in all an adrenalin packed week with great people all with one thing in common.... Partying Hard and Driving even harder. Jan and her army of checkpoint girls did not disappoint... "Shall I be coming back for more? – Absolutely!" 
Neil (Hutch), BMW Alpina D3 Bi Turbo (2010)

“Great Cars ! Great people ! Great Drives !  Great Locations 
Nothing else on four wheels gets close!!!”
David, Smart Car (Winner 2008), Beach Buggy (2009)

“The Cannonball Run was outrageous fun.    I loved the fact that you don't know where you are going until you get in your car to start the day and when you finish driving you are in a lovely five star hotel.   Couple that with interesting people from all over Europe and a track day on a formula one track for our exclusive use and you have a pretty perfect week." 
Mark, Ferrari 430 (2009)

“Everybody at least once in their life needs to experience the Cannonball Run, the adrenaline, the unknown, the competitiveness coupled with the camaraderie. All of these factors wrapped up with 5 star hotels and locations.  It is a heady combination that I will undoubtedly repeat.”
Simeon, Ferrari 430 (2009)

"Make no mistake, the Cannonball Run is a life changing experience!!  Cruising through Europe's most beautiful countryside with a select  bunch of dedicated petrolheads is only one half of the story.... the other half includes living it up in a selection of handpicked 5 star hotels and prestigious VIP nightclubs...  When the engines stop the party starts and believe me, you won't find anyone who party’s harder than a Cannonballer!!"
Jason, BMW M3 (2009)

“One of the best experiences of our lives…. Even with the challenges of driving a Ferrari 360 !  We met some fantastic people & saw some amazing places.  It was definitely one of our best decisions to take part this year & we cannot wait until 2010…. Bring It On!!!”
Jo & Paul, Ferrari 360 Spider (2009)

“Cannonball Run Europe – simply outrageously fantastic!
It’s very well organised, from the planning process to the actual event. The girls are gorgeous. The hotels are first class as is the food, but the best part is the daily adrenalin rush and the after parties.  All participants and the organising team are petrolheads and I’ll certainly be participating again.”
Steve from Malta, Mazda RX7 (2007)

“There are several reasons you might try the Cannonball experience; some have seen the film and frankly are looking for an excuse to dress up, some are complete petrol heads looking to stretch the legs of their latest toy, some are competitive and want to win the fabled trophy, but in most cases people are looking for a once, (or twice, or thrice……) in a lifetime experience.  The Cannonball Run will not disappoint.  I liked it so much I bought a new car and came back for a second go.  After an exceptional week, we returned home with fantastic memories, amusing stories and some amazing lifetime friends.  Jan’s organisation and commitment to the run goes way beyond her bottom line.  This is someone’s passion, give it a try and you will understand why.  As someone immortalized – we will be back!!!”  
Craig, Porsche 911 (Winner 2007), Porsche GT3 (2008)

“I did the Cannonball Run with two friends of mine, it was definitely an unforgettable week; truly one of the best driving experiences imaginable.
One thing I think everyone was blown away by is Jan and her team and the amount of work and effort they put in to provide us with a truly amazing week.  It ran so smoothly, everywhere we went everything was well organised, no delays, no problems, loads of entertainment, fantastic food and hotels, some amazing driving routes, and we also met up with some great people, Will definitely be on the starting grid again soon. Thanks Jan for a great week.”
Dave, Porsche Cayenne (2009)

After contemplating things I wanted to do before I die, there was only one thing I could think of; participating in the Cannonball Run Europe! It was an experience that I will never ever forget and a dream come true. The people were amazing, from all walks of life but all with one common goal – to have fun! And that is exactly what we had. The excellent hotels, the fine food, the people, the adventure, the unknown and the endless laughter will stay with me for the rest of my life. I do not hesitate in recommending this event; they say it is the Drive of your Life and believe me, it is. A word of caution though; beware, it is addictive!
Michael and Marco, The Flying Dutchmen, Jaguar X-type (2009)
