THE CHALLENGE To travel ¼ of the way around the earth, from London to Mongolia in any crap car that has an engine with no more than 1 ltr of power. This year's Mongol Rally starts on Saturday the 30th of July. Currently there are about 50 teams taking part. The race is just over 8000 miles, (vague details can be found on the journey page). We start from London and finish near the Mongolian capital Ulaan Bataar about three weeks later. The route is broken into three legs which vary in length, with an optional stop off at the end of each to catch some much needed rest. The car will be driven from London to Istanbul by Justin Wheeler and his brother Henry Chance. From there to Azerbaijan Justin is planning on driving alone, and from Azerbaijan on to Mongolia the car will be driven by Justin Wheeler and Stephen Longe. The car, a brilliant Citroen 2CV Dolly will likely double up as a hotel, dining room, sometime kitchen and entertainment centre. At each stopover point there should be luxuries such as beds and roofs so we should be able to have a wash periodically! We will have no back up team! As the organisers say it is an adventure not a petting zoo so our arrival at the destination, or our safety is in no way guaranteed! We shall be travelling as light as possible, just in case we need to swap the broken car for a tandem!? or a pair of bicycles in the middle of the desert. This way we will be able to carry on without too much difficulty. We are also slightly hopeful that we will be able to swap our car for horses in Mongolia and go the final leg on horseback!
