What kind of terrain is this run on ? All Mahindra Scorpios, Boleros or for that matter Jeeps are not 4x4 ? Is it a family event ?

GoSlow · 29th June 2009, 14:24

Allan, are you going to give us a sneak preview of your 550 befoer the event?

How is it coming along? though Monsoons had Mumbai already! We are evaporating up North!!

xtreme power · 29th June 2009, 15:19

running a stock 5550 for this event,...
minor modifications maybe
the big band is maybe for coorg
lets see

It's a brand excercise than a true off roading. All Mahindra vehicles including Scropios, M M Pickups, 2 X 4 vehicles can participate in the Mahindra Great Escape Event.

Shahpur Mumbai 12 July 09
Goa 25 July 09
Coorg 8 Aug 09
Munnar 22 Aug 09

Four MGEs in 40 days, that's a busy schedule. Two of them are close enough for me.

GTO · 29th June 2009, 16:48

I'm in! If the terrain gets boring, we can always "make our own road"

. Stigger & Ferdi also coming along in their respective Classics.

desertfox · 29th June 2009, 16:58

Is there a Great Escape event in these parts i.e. Delhi / Delhi NCR ? If not I have the expertise to run one here.

Samurai · 29th June 2009, 17:04

Mahindra Great Escape is run by Mahindra, hence the name. If you run it, it won't be Mahindra Great Escape.

desertfox · 29th June 2009, 17:05

Run it for them as Route Director / Event Manager.

Samurai · 29th June 2009, 17:06

All that is done by Mahindra Employees these days. When they ask you to design it so that even 2WD can participate, what will you do?

desertfox · 29th June 2009, 23:42

A 50 km route with intermediate challenges of a bit of climb / mud / slush for 2WD vehicles can be marked out. Do they ever hold such events in Delhi / NCR ? We have done it before in another land.
