Lawrence Schoeb and Russell Williamson are putting common sense on hold to drive to Mongolia in an old banger

The Mongol Rally – although a simple concept – is a daring and challenging adventure. It’s a charity motoring event (organised by The Adventurists) where teams of two to four people set off on 14 July from the ‘Festival of Slow’ at Goodwood Racecourse in West Sussex in an attempt to drive to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, in an ill-chosen and unfitting vehicle without any organised support.
