This was posted a month back on M5 Board. And it sounds Friggin Hot to me :
Together with my Dubai business partners, I am launching a new street rally format called "Ultimate Rally" in 2006. Seven days, 5000 kilometers, and $2 mio prize money. 4 checkpoints, 1 finishline. The first 3 cars share $150.000 CASH at every checkpoint (100K, 30K, 20K) and $1.4 mio at the finish line ($1 mio, 250K, 150K). Advanced GPS & UMTS handhelds will be used to track all cars in realtime (speed & routing statistics). This will prevent cheating and all drivers receive the routes at the same time. We are now working on the legal aspects to protect the organizers. Watch out for the launch of http://www.ultimaterally.com by the end of this year and start spreading the word.
I like to hear your questions, opinions, suggestions and criticism. Thank you,
Kimble
