Driving to Outer Mongolia for charity...

Chris Hind in talking to Tony

Chris and Oli are driving a long way...

PC Chris Hind and his team mate Oli Maxwell are taking on the Mongol Rally and Chris popped into the studio to have a chat with Tony Collins to tell us more about the challenge.  As the rally is all about driving the 8000 miles to Mongolia completely unsupported you would expect that the vehicle would be something designed for the job. Unfortunately the rules of the rally state that you have to use a car with an engine size of no more than 1 litre...it’s all part of the adventure! Chris and Oli will be using a Vauxhall Corsa to complete the challenge and will be raising money for ‘Help for Heroes’ and ‘The Mercy Corps’.

Chris and Oli will be setting off from Harrogate to get to the starting point at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on the 24^th July. If you want to find out more about Team Fifty Five and their challenge or even donate to the charities they’re raising money for, check out the team’s website:
