What?
The 12th edition of the most ridiculous adventure in the world. 750 Mongol Ralliers erupting from Goodwood, like Greek financiers fleeing Angela Merkel’s wife swap party.
Where?
Goodwood Historic Motor Circuit, Chichester.
Historic Goodwood and the Mongol Rally launch. A perfect match. In 1962 Stirling Moss crashed at Goodwood, putting himself into a coma for a month and paralysing bits of himself for six months. In 2014 at the Rally launch, a rallier known as ‚Paul‘ ruptured his scrotum climbing a fence, leading to several hours of heavy bleeding and a lifetime of ridicule. A tentative link perhaps, but one worth mentioning.
Whatever happens in 2015 it promises to be riotous. The poor chap who carries out our risk assessment hasn’t slept in a month, our insurance broker is close to suicide. How could you miss this?
When?
Sunday 19th July
9am – Site opens
10am – Motorcircuit glory begins
12pm – last team leaves
Anyone in the area on Saturday is welcome to join us from 5pm at Goodwood’s Supershell Bar, to share a beer with the 2015 cohort, ridiculing their preparation while being openly jealous of the trouble they’re going to get slapped round the chops by.
