Indian Autorickshaw Challenge- Mumbai Express Rally - Dec 19, 2006
Preparations for the very first
Indian Autorickshaw Challenge- Mumbai Express Rally have gotten fully underway this week,
as the organisation ready themselves for the August 5th 2007
start.
The administration certainly
has their work cut out for them, as this the most wild, unpredictable,
and unique road race ever organised. The entrants to this amateur adventure
will all be enjoying the crazy Indian night life and pushing their endurance
to the limit by day as they cover 1921 km along India’s western and
central regions, all in local Tuk-Tuks. The Tuk Tuk –A.K.A the Autorickshaw – is India’s
three wheeled work horse and general purpose runabout, which hundreds
of brave entrants shall be piling into, making their own, and
then pushing to the limits and beyond.
The job of the organisers over
the next few months before the starting flag drops in Chennai is not
just finalised logistics, but also to ensure that the Adopt A Village
program - the real
heart of the event – is all ready to go. The unique Adopt A village
scheme will see each member team being assigned a specific village along
the road route, where they will stop off to deliver supplies and badly
needed aid. This aid will particularly be used to further the education
of the village’s children, and each donation will have huge positive
effects for generations to come in these depressed areas.
At the moment the organisers
are still looking for a few final all-important sponsors to ensure that the rally can have
the best possible impact on these impoverished rural areas. With the
highly visible international profile of the already infamous Autorickshaw Classic
Rally, the prospects
look good for both the organisers and potential sponsors.
