Since the information on Mahindra's website is limited, I'm going to list out the procedures:

1. Fill the attached form & include copies of required documents (driving licence, RC book, tax receipt and insurance policy).

2. Cheque of Rs. 2,500 in favour of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.

3. Drop off at your nearest Mahindra dealer.

4. Send an email to rizwy.arif@mahindra.com with your entry details. Any queries may also be forwarded to him.

NOTE : This is not an overnighter. Reach Shahpur early morning and return back late afternoon. Exact timings are awaited. Those coming from Mumbai can put up their confirmations here. We'll drive together in a convoy (about 1.5 hours to reach Shahpur from Sion Circle).

Spitfire · 8th July 2009, 14:18

Is this open to 2WD too? I am not participating but trying to guage whether its still a "Great Escape" or a family outing thingy with some advertising thrown in.

pdev29 · 8th July 2009, 17:02

Last year we went there and it was just disappointment.. we had to be in 2wd,get stuck purposly so atleast we can feel that we did some offroading, I hope its not the case this time.
