Vehicles

The Caucasian Challenge is unique in almost everything, especially that we don’t tell you want kind of vehicle you have to use. Go nuts! Custom hot rod with rockets on the back? OK, but mind the speed limit. Or if your only option is grandpa’s 1973 Buick (or Vespa), that’s okay too. Obviously having a high-end, 4-wheel drive vehicle will make the journey more comfortable. But is that really what you want? Some of the best times we’ve ever had have been broken down in the middle of nowhere. We think it’s more than just a fantastic story; it’s a great way to step outside the dull safety net you’re tied into now. What if you have the soul of a great explorer but a bank account like the rest of us? Luckily there’s a bunch of ways to get around that.

If you’re not sure what to drive, we can help. Also, if you want to make your life easier and fly into Budapest and grab something here, we can help you in delivering a vehicle of your choice and budget. Whatever problems you face regarding vehicles – we can help you! Just collect all your questions and ideas and contact us!

As a minimal assistance event, we don’t tell you what to do or how to do it. We’ve held similar races in exotic places all over the globe and discovered that you have a better time when there’s no one holding your hand.
The first decision: what category do you fit in?

1. Competition

Born competitors know who they are. They solve puzzles faster, require speed and have a special love for the number 1. Choosing to race means that you can have any combination of 1 to 4 people in a vehicle. You can plot your own course, but all checkpoints are required and earn a score. Checkpoints are awesome geo-caching challenges totally unique from anything you’ve done before. A combination of points and placement in the finish determine the winner. But do not forget: this rally is not about speed. It’s all about endurance, creativity, personal and interpersonal skills and team spirit. You don’t need to be a pro to win the game. Sure, you’ll get an outrageously impressive trophy but the real draw is the grand prize. A free entry for a team of 2 to the 2011 Mumbai Xpress Autorickshaw Challenge , an epic rally across over 1,900 kilometers of gorgeous South India during the legendary monsoon season. Worth over 2,000 Euros you should be well satisfied in your new adrenalin-fueled adventure addiction.

2. Touring

Like to check out the scenery? If you enjoy doing things your way, talking with people and having a good time then the touring category is for you. There are no rules, no cut-off times and no scoring. Just try to get to the destination every day, sometimes it’s a pretty nice challenge itself. You’ll have time to party without early morning wake up.

3. Extreme

Do you think the route is not challenging enough with a regular car? Did you manage to buy an old pile of rust and bet your mates it won’t fall into pieces after driving 20 miles? Did more than 3 people tell you in the past couple of months that you’re insane? Then you’re the man we need, as we do like mentalist like us!
Get a vehicle older than 30 years (25 years if it was made in Eastern Europe), sign in to this category and show the world that you can make it! And we honour your efforts with a special discount.
