I am looking to get some feedback on this idea/initiative I am trying to work on with FIM Asia.
The Idea is to run a 8-10 day adventure rally/tour starting in Thailand, riding into Laos and finishing in Thailand
I am hoping a Japanese company called Ortev will become involved, they are a major sponsor of many unique extreme adventure events through Asia. In the past Ortev have sponsored the Maxxis Asia Open Enduro, which attracted many international riders in 2006.
The base idea is open for discussion and feed back that's what we are looking for. I feel we could run the event finishing each days leg by the banks of a boat accessible river. This way we could reduce the support need for the drivers and riders by using boats to carry luggage and spares.
Now I have a lot of other thoughts but I would like to here your ideas first.
Things like should 4x4's also be involved?
Should it be a race or a more relaxed time trial? or should their be a class for each?
where should we start and finish?
amount of days? keep in mind international competitors
Time of year? again inter competitors need at least 2 week vacation to attend.
Should gps's be allowed?
The questions go on and on and on but I am sure you get the idea.
regards Mark
