how it started

This is your captain speaking

«We have changed our course. In our world exist several parallel realities that never intersect. At the moment, you are entering one of these realities» — this is how the first MadWay Rally began, in the plane over the territory of Mongolia.

This country has a landscape and atmosphere that immerse travelers in an apocalyptic world — dusty, desolate, with miles of desert stretching as far as the eye can see.

the start

Nine cars, two buggies, one truck

The convoy set off on a nearly thousand-kilometer journey through the Gobi Desert and the Sharatyn-Tal Steppe. This trip did not go without a burning car, broken buggies and participants who got lost in the Gobi territory.

Every machine was custom-built for the task — tested here for the very first time against the real wasteland.

The wildest pit stop on Earth

In the middle of the path the travelers were greeted with a death-metal concert show — a rocker hanging from a car with flames erupting from his guitar. Black smoke billowed from the car's hood, and meat sizzled on the spit.

The final race was a test of endurance and speed, through the night and into the morning. Only five cars and one motorcycle were left in the end — a race that showed the world that anything is possible if you dare to try.
