Welcome to the Cannonball Run Europe
We are delighted to announce that this year’s Cannonballers will be revving up their engines for the start of the Cannonball Run Europe 2008 at Sandown Park Racecourse, Esher, Surrey on Sunday 6th July. Check out the venue on www.sandown.co.uk. The Cannonball cars will start to arrive at 10.30 and the first car will move onto the starting grid at 12.45 pm with the rest following at 30 second intervals as they head off on their first mission. Grab your camara, family and friends and come down to soak up the atmosphere and to see us off. Entry is free and parking is plentiful.
We will be returning to the UK on Friday 11th July. The finish line is at The Grand Hotel, Brighton, East Sussex.
