A COMPANY has just returned from the world’s largest charity car rally, totalling nearly 6000 kilometres.
‘Team Revive’ consisted of Michal Lepiarz, his partner Irmina Kowalska along with Irmina’s brother Kamil and friend Krzysiek, they raised over 400 euros for international orphanage charities.
The team travelled from Basingstoke to Poland then drove a 1991 Skoda Favorit car from Poland, through the Czech Republic, Germany, and France before ending the rally in Spain.
It is the second year that Irmina and Michal have taken part in the rally where only cars designed or manufactured in the former Eastern Bloc can enter.
Irmina Kowalska said: “Two things we all have in common is helping children and enjoying time on the road together in our old cars.
Over 5,000 cars completed the week-long event and the total amount raised is expected to exceed the 250,000 euros achieved last year.
Irmina added: “We had a great time and relieved that Michal’s beloved Skoda withstood the challenge!”
