Hello fellow steemian petro heads :) This post is primarily to gauge interest in a concept for steemfest. This idea has been thought about chatting with @firepower, another huge motor head. SteemRally concept was brainstormed from a huge passion of mine in performance vehicles and spirited driving. What better way to be a motorhead but at steemfest and in Portugal.
SteemRally is definitely geared toward motor heads to experience Portugual in a spirited driving experience, making a few key stops at great cities, local coffee and quick bites.
The purposed drive would take us from the heart of Lisbon, down to Lagos, which looks to be a beautiful beach area with stunning rock formations. The goal is to keep the entire cruise to roughly 6-8 hour roundtrip.
Here's the quick details:
Concept Rally Route
Performance vehicles
There's a few ways we can handle the vehicles. At a minimum I'd like to secure a group of BMW 2-Series/Manual transmission vehicles. If you get automatic coffee is you on ;) Based on estimates we can expect $80-$100/USD a day per vehicle. If you'd like to splurge and get something more exotic great.
Expecting to get to GumBall 3000 level is not going to happen right away, but having vehicles showing up completely wrapped with custom graphics is a vision I'd love to see materialize at a future steemfest.
Could this be what a future steemfest ride looks like?
Some of the sights we'll see along the way
Gauging interest and if it's looking good, I'll start locking down the details, times(Doing best to avoid as much key time from other steemfest activities), and working with the rental provider to secure a large patch of sporty cars and hopefully discounted rates.
Currently this is a concept but going well, something I'd like to keep growing and coordinate for future steemfest's. I'm not sure if we can get to the size of Gumball 3000, but we certainly can keep trying.
Time for steemian motor heads to unite.
