A Mongol Rally car on the bumpy road along the Wakhan Corridor, Tajikistan,
Wikipedia: The Mongol Rally is an intercontinental car rally that begins in Europe and ends in Ulan Ude, Russia. The rally originally ended in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. However, to avoid punitive costs and taxes associated with vehicle imports and disposal, the rally now passes through Mongolia and ends in Ulan Ude. The principal launch is from Goodwood Circuit in the United Kingdom, with subsidiary starting points in the Czech Republic. It is described as the "Greatest Adventure in the World" and sees on average a 70% completion rate[according to whom?]. There are three fundamental Rules of the Rally: Rally vehicles have a 1200cc engine limit Rally teams are unsupported Rally teams need to raise at least £1000 for charity The organizers ("The Adventurists") are careful to point out that racing on highways is illegal. There are other differences from mainstream rallies, particularly the fact that no support team is provided and no other arrangements are made such as for accommodation, maintenance, or fuel.
