What can I drive?

There are lots of options for vehicles you can take on the rally; see the 2010 vehicle rules for details.

One favourite is to take an Ambulance and it was the Ambulance to Mongolia team in 2008 who were the most successful team in terms of fundraising and sponsorship in the history of the rally - they raised a staggering £22,000 pounds for charity plus some excellent sponsorship including free flights home from British Airways! The ambulance is now fulfilling a much-needed role in Mongolia - see this report on the handover of the Ambulance to the International Children’s Centre Nairamdal near Ulaanbaatar and the photo to the right. 

Inspired by their example, 2009 sees more Mongolia Charity Rally teams following their example of delivering genuinely useful vehicles to Mongolia - you can see this year's teams here and also the vehicles they've got here. We would like to thank the Mongolian Government for their support in this project.

UPDATE: Go Help trustee Charlie Hogg and the 2009 teams were featured on BBC News on 23 April 2009 - you can see the video here. 

2009 Rally teams who drove an ambulance to Mongolia:-

The Adventure Tea Party are Ryan and Ajay who, thanks to some generous sponsorship by colleagues at Oracle and Microsoft, drove to Mongolia in an ex-military Land Rover 109 ambulance which was donated directly to the general hospital of Bayan Olgii aimag in Mongolia upon their arrival.

Pommes Express, comprising Peter, an engineer from Duisburg and Andreas, an orthopedic surgeon from Düsseldorf made their way to Mongolia in a Mercedes-Benz MB-100 Ambulance. See their website here.

Paul, Claire, John and Lynda are the NAG Mongols, members of the New Ash Green Rugby Club; they drove a Renault Master.

The Team, an audacious pair of Edinburgh graduates named Alice and Juliet, also delivered an Ambulance and were sponsored in their effort by Automated Packaging Systems - you can read their blog here.

Mission to Mongolia are Chris and Mark, two Yorkshire lads drove their Daewoo Nubria ambulance from Utley to Ulaan Baatar!

Many teams have not yet sorted out their vehicle, and there is still plenty of time to sign up for the adventure of a lifetime!
