18 July 2009 – six hundred teams hoping to reach the capital of Mongolia will set out from Milan, London and Barcellona. The goal of the rally is adventure and charity.
Up to this point there is nothing strange. The word ‘rally ‘ in the title suggests it is a classical point -to- point race. You may have some doubts about the viability of the roads, but that’s about it.
The real worry comes after a look at the list of vehicles: Fiat Panda or the legendary scooter Vespa? At this point it becomes crystal clear we are dealing with sheer madness. Those who make it to the stop-over in Prague will have one and only goal … two, to be more exact: SURVIVE & ARRIVE.
11000 km of route
engine with no bigger than 1 liter
approx 40 days to enjoy
no assistance to spoil the sport
Still unconvinced? Well, some have tried to take a detour via Arctic Circle or Afghanistan.
And if they make it they will have to sell the car at a charity auction.
Would you like to follow their footsteps?
ALTEA brings you the possibility to stay in touch with the teams in real time and become a part of the charitable folly. Maybe you will even pick the vehicle to buy and then just pack a suitcase full of money, take your bike and fly to Ulan Baatar as well.
Thanks to ALTEA you can get to know these "daredevils" and follow them LIVE!
