The unknown and the adventure is what draws participants to the Mongol Rally. Unlike the Gumball Rally, this is rough, dirty, and unglamorous, but my god, does it look thrilling. First off you’re not driving a $500,000 exotic speeding through Europe at 210 miles an hour. Instead you’re driving through dusty trails in a compact car or a mini van through foreign lands in demanding conditions. You may have to bribe your way out of a situation, your car may run out of gas in no where Russia, or worse, break down in the middle of the Kazakh desert. The organizers did not devise a route, there’s A, a large European city, and then there’s B, Ulaan Baatar, the capital of Mongolia. Everything in between is up to you. It’s dangerous, uncertain, risky, but most of all exciting. If you have the courage and wit to endure such a demanding adventure, then sign up for 2011’s rally.
