Independent Event Budapest-Bamako 2026

[lagartoboy]

The 2024 version is happening now. Registration for 2026 should start next month and it sells out quickly: BudapestBamako.org Wouldn’t it be fun to have some Grenadiers and Quartermasters participate? I’m looking for a ride! It doesn’t make sense to ship my Grenny from the U.S. I would prefer one of the non-competitive divisions (Touring Adventure or 4x4 Adventure). I’m retired and have lots of time for such an adventure. I think three is the perfect number to split costs and split driving. My wife wouldn’t be interested but she’ll give me the green light. When I tell her .

I'd love to do this sort of thing.

I received an email that registration for this 2026 rally opens March 6. It will probably sell out in a couple of days. Any European or North Africa folks interested? I think three people in a vehicle would be ideal, but two or four would work. I’m not a great mechanic, but I would bring a cheerful demeanor and I’m a pretty good cook. If Adam can participate that would be a bonus based on the postings I’ve seen from him.

I'm in - also not a mechanic but I own tools.


If these jovial fellows can do it in a Lada, I'm sure we can get it done in a grenadier.

@anand how is your Feb 2026 looking?

I registrered and am going! Epic adventure, lots to prepare! Unfortunately no room left in my Grenadier. Would love to team up with other Grenadier owners though!
