Budapest Bamako Rally

The 4th Budapest-Bamako Rally has started yesterday from Budapest to arrive to capital of Mali around 15days later.

The authentic rally is now in 4th year, started with a crazy idea to mix the charity work with a fun wacky race. Of course you can find big four wheel drives here as well as on other rallies, but several real strange vehicles are always in the crowd, like VW Buggy, Ikarus citybus or old Peugeot and russian Lada.
The drivers are also usually not pro drivers, but everyday family daddys...
The race is not a real race, there are a winner but everybody is a winner who can make the long way to Bamako through the sahara desert and maybe back. Since not everything is coming back. Many car bring aid and charity stuff to Mali, others want to sell or simply give away their car/bus as gift for locals and come back by plane.
Others try the way back as well with the old scrap car, sometimes takes a month the way back only.

So everyone can be part of the wacky desert race, why don't you? Join to Budapest Bamako Race in 2010...what you need only a registered car, a lot of time, and some money of course
