CAUCASIAN CHALLENGE - YET ANOTHER WACKY RACE TO START FROM BUDAPEST
Hungarian News Agency
July 28, 2008 Monday
Drivers from at least nine nations are scheduled to participate in the
first Caucasus amateur rally to start out from Budapest on August 30,
chief organiser Attila Berenyi told MTI on Monday.
The participants will have to cover a 6,000-kilometre course in 17
days through Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo,
Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey and Georgia to reach their
destination in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, he said.
Parts of the course will cross formerly or presently war-torn regions
and romantic landscapes, including riverbeds, snow-clad mountain
passes, barren plains and dusty dirt roads, providing a memorable
experience for lovers of extreme adventures.
Racers are allowed to participate with any type of a car -- even
Soviet-made Moskvichs. All the more so because the rules will reward
perseverance, creativity and problem solving rather than speed.
New entrants may register themselves at the website
http:///www.caucasianchallenge.com up until August 15.
The Caucasus rally will be combined with a charity action to benefit
the inhabitants of underdeveloped regions.
