Dodgeball Supercar Rally 2026 Drives Milan to Barcelona This September

Milan sets the starting line this year. The Dodgeball Supercar Rally 2026, running since 2009, sends this year's convoy from Milan through Switzerland, Monaco, and Carcassonne to a finale in Barcelona, four days across some of the continent's most demanding driving terrain.

Jonny Dodge founded the rally, and seventeen editions later, the British entrepreneur still calls the route the real draw. This September, the Alps and the Pyrenees share the itinerary for the first time, a combination he singles out as the edition's standout stretch.

The Route

Day one launches from Milan, tracing lakes and mountain passes across Northern Italy before an overnight stay in a five-star hotel. Day two pushes into the French Riviera through alpine roads and small towns, arriving in Monaco by evening.

Day three departs Monaco for the South of France, coastal stretches giving way to countryside before reaching the medieval walls of Carcassonne. Day four closes the rally in Barcelona, a finale built around fine dining and five-star luxury.

Who's Driving

Starr Luxury Cars joins as the rally's rental and vehicle partner this year, supplying much of the convoy's Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren firepower. Ike Ordor, the Company's Founder, frames the partnership as a natural fit: he calls it two visions built around the same idea, that cars matter, but the people behind the wheel matter more.

The rally has never limited itself to millionaires with a garage. Sports cars and classics ride alongside supercars, and Starr Luxury Cars offers members discounted rental rates for anyone without an owned vehicle to bring.

Most European road rallies chase nostalgia, grueling stints behind the wheel of vintage machines with little sleep between legs, the modern Mille Miglia among them. Dodgeball runs the opposite playbook: top-tier hospitality, private dining, and restorative stops built into every leg, so the driving stays thrilling without the exhaustion.

Last year's edition ran Monaco to Croatia, tracing the Adriatic coastline into Istria with a stop in Portofino by boat. Milan to Barcelona raises the stakes further, trading coastal cruising for genuine mountain driving through two of Europe's most demanding ranges.
