Octopus Property, Masthaven, Ortus Secured Finance and Funding 365 will battle the elements in £250 cars on Thursday 9th March in the Lake District to be crowned the FlopGear Challenger Champion.

The teams will be raising money for three charities: Steps, Bury Hospice and Refuaid – all three of which have been chosen by industry peers and are close to the hearts of those competing. 

The event aims to raise £8,000 in donations, which will be supported through the auctioning off of the four competing cars after the challenge.

Before, however, the teams will compete in a series of ‘top-secret’ individual and team challenges all to test speed, creativity and determination with the sub-conscious knowledge that their cars are already on their last legs. 

“We all love dinner suits and cocktail dresses, but when was the last time you drove a £250 car with your mates from work and completed ridiculously conceived challenges all in aid for three fantastic charities?” said Jordan McBriar of Adapt Finance.

“There will be live videos and tweets on the day to show how we are getting on and any support you can give would be massively appreciated.”
