How does the greatest adventure in the world sound? What about 10,000 miles, 7 mountain ranges, 3 deserts, bandits, roads ranging from bad to non-existent and all this in a car you swapped for a bag of crisps? Find out more..

Travel a third of the way around the earth, from London to Mongolia via a plethora of countries most people haven't heard of in any crap car that has an engine with no more than 1 litre of power.
Starting from London, the rally finishes in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar around three weeks and a whole heap of adventure later. It's between about 8 and 10,000 miles depending on the route you choose to throw your crap-mobile at. We don't believe in telling you what to do or where to go as this is supposed to be an adventure not a cosy guided driving tour, so the world is pretty much your oyster.
To get to the end teams have gone as far north as the Arctic Circle and as far south as Afghanistan on what can only really be described as somewhat circuitous routes. What happens to you between London, the deserts, mountains, bandits and wilderness is anyone's guess.
In a normal year just over half the teams make the finish line in one piece.If you want a full support crew (or any support crew) you're in the wrong place. If nothing goes wrong, then everything has gone wrong. You only start having fun when you break down in the desert with only a short stick and some chewing gum to fix your car. If your automobile completely lets you down and all else fails, e.g. the sky has fallen on your head, you may be able to get to Mongolia by scabbing a lift from other cars.
However, you are supposed to be on an adventure not in a nursery class so if the sky does fall on your head, prop it up with a windscreen wiper and carry on. If you're worried, stay at home.

WHEN IS IT?
The Mongol Rally 2007 starts on July 21st 2007 from Hyde Park in London. There are also a group of ten teams starting from Madrid.

WHY?
The Mongol Rally isn't just about adventure, it's also about raising huge sacks of cash for some great charities. Last year we topped £200,000 and we hope to smash that this year.
Each team coming on the Rally raises a minimum of £1000 for the Rally charities. You can find out more about them and the awesome work they do on the Charities page
