They aim to arrive in Le Touquet, Witney's twin town on the northern coast of France, at around lunchtime.
The journey will include a number of weird and wonderful challenges including car jousting and blindfolded driving.

When in Le Touquet the group will be welcomed by the town's mayor and locals will celebrate their arrival.
The event hopes to raise £500,000 for SpecialEffect, a Charlbury-based charity that adapts video games for disabled children.
