Mongol Rally in numbers 2004 - 2010. Has it been long enough for the mighty infographic to make a comeback? Join in the high level discussion taking place now in the Mongol Rally | Official Group.
Does the world need to know how many more ralliers experienced an 'in car underwear browning' over the last 14 years?
Or whether the record for the earliest punch up between team mates has been beaten (it was in Calais after launching from London).

If the demand is there the investigation into the numbers behind the legends will begin immediately at Rally HQ.

It'll be just like a census, but focused on soiled trousers, border delays, crappiest cars and marriages un-created.

"England to Oskemen, Kazakhstan in a 1.1 litre car. 21 countries, countless delays, and roads that should never be seen by mankind, we somehow made it for the Official Mongol Rally finish line!

"A major accomplishment ... The Mongol Rally 2024: officially done ✅"

"Let's drive to Mongolia. I had no idea where Mongolia was. But I missed both my brother and adventure. So I said "YES".

"Before I knew it, I'd quit my job and we'd purchased a little (993cc), some spray paint, and some costumes. We were off!

"30 countries and 18923.2 km later, we arrived. So many things happened on the way, but we simply tackled every problem as it arose. And we enjoyed everything the journey threw at us.

"So many times I've talked myself out of things because I've over contemplated the logistics. But if we simply start, there's no limit to the things we can accomplish! (Even if they are seemingly impossible)"

- Adeena Gerding, Mongol Rally 2009

Meet the Mongol Rally’s finest roadside mechanic.

Perfectly engineered by nature: a piercing glare to give you a withering look as you crash into a ditch, talons sharp enough to shred the map into a thousand scraps, and wings to fly for help when you're broken down amid the Mongolian steppe.

This bird has all the mechanical knowledge you need to take on the Mongol Rally 2025.

Team Three Muskabeards went for a double shopping trolley set up. It clearly needed some running repairs but most importantly it served as a shining beacon to not giving a s**t what the sensible brigade say is necessary for driving across a third of the Earth.⁠⁠

They also excelled by putting almost nothing in it, then finished the look with a slightly disturbing child's doll.⁠⁠

A little peep behind the curtain of Mongol Rally 2016. What's better than one car? Two.

Presenting Mr Will Bazeley, Team Hiley Unlikely, Mongol Rally 2016 Veteran and his steed, the Berkely T60. Also pictured the Lada that the Berkeley rode in on.

How was the final journey?

"One of the most terrifying drives of my life, rain, more rain, oil from the Berkeley engine bay cascading down the windscreen, roads changing from perfect Tarmac to rough as hell dirt tracks in the blink of an eye, and all the while my beautiful Lada workhorse bouncing around like a fat man on a water bed."

Bravo sir, even it bravo doesn't quite cover it. 📷: The team formally known as Hiley Dangerous - Mongol Rally 2016

Dragging isn’t the smartest propulsion method. But when your car’s the size of a parrot’s lunchbox, who cares?

You couldn’t get more lost than these pirates. 500 miles from the nearest puddle.

To follow in their (literal) footsteps, sign up for the Mongol Rally 2025.

This is the greatest motoring adventure on the planet. This is 10,000 miles of chaos across mountains, deserts and roads ranging from bad to not-a-road in a tiny car you bought from a scrapyard for £4.60.

We’ve always known entering the Mongol Rally takes a rare breed of genius — the kind not found on every speck of cosmic dust.

But did you know there’s a level above ordinary, everyday clever cloggy-ness? Introducing: the map car.

Can’t lose the map if it is the car. Though we’re not sure you need that much detail for a route like: ‘Left at the Isle of Wight and straight on till you fall off the edge.’

"It's been an exhausting but amazing month and a half, and that we made it to the end is honestly surprising yet bittersweet. A huge thanks to , and to all of our friends and family for keeping up with us throughout." —

limped, spluttered, and somehow survived deserts, mountains, and more than one over-friendly camel to complete the Mongol Rally 2024. Their Nissan couldn't help but commemorate the experience with a couple of tattoos from the locals.

Oh, 2019—simple times.

Did we say simple? We meant silly.

Fear not, the nonsense is back in full, filthy glory. The Mongol Rally returns in July and August 2025, ready to drag you across half the globe with all the reckless abandon of a startled cow. Be there, or become a soggy piece of cardboard.

's Mongol Rally 2024 journey is less a "textbook disaster class" and more an avant-garde masterpiece in vehicular masochism.

Take one thoroughly knackered Renault, scribble on it like the wall of a pub toilet, and drag the whole mess through Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan.

Tomas, Daniel, and Ignacio somehow survived without too many bruises, unlike their poor yellow friend who "parked" itself wheels-up on a motorway. A classic fumble.

The first ever interview with Jenny, who helped Tom create the Mongol Rally then The Adventurists and took part in the 2004 rally. Since the beginning she's operated mostly in the shadows as 'Chief of Organising Everything'. Now she's on record for the first time chatting to Aaron from the Armchair Explorers podcast about how the rally got started and what it means to jump in a rolling turd and head off with no plan of any kind.

Øystein & Joakim hit a massive milestone on the Pamir Highway on this summer's Mongol Rally. Here's how they described it back in August. "The trip counter has now rolled over 15000km! And we are on the final stretch to Oskemen! "The Pamir highway surprised us with it's magnificent views, treacherous roads and lack of cellphone reception (hence the lack of updates). After racing through the mountains we were finally reunited with the two other Micras! The three a'Micras rise again! Now also joined by the awesome team @bonsaisessions! "The roads were hard on both the cars and the passengers! The Pamir highway gave us a taste of the high altitude when crossing the peak at over 4600m! We camped at the Karakul lake next to the Kyrgyzstan border at 4000m. This was our coldest camp yet, but we were able to stay warm with a great DJ session and a bonfire made with cowsh*t! ( It is hard to find firewood at these altitudes, and the locals were more than happy enough to sell us some dried cowsh*t) "After entering Kyrgyzstan we were lucky enough to be invited by a family to their yurt and try some local delicacies like homemade bread, butter and fermented horse milk (we concluded that this was an acquired taste and not everyone was a fan). "The highway was at last defeated but it had taken a toll on our cars. Our front and rear dampers are in the process of failing and two of our tyres were punctured (one beyond repair). But that's part of the fun adventure! Any wimp can do the Pamir highway in a Toyota land cruiser, not everyone can do it in a Nissan Micra!" Video and words by team @galskap_2024 - @_oystein_ & @joaholmberg #mongolrally #theadventurists

The Swiss Alps. On the Mongol Rally they're a cheeky starter before the main. A prawn cocktail of bitumen streaked mountain roads before the Central Asian vindaloo roughs you up with offroad tracks and unpredictable sphincter twitches. This is team @galskap_2024 on day 6 of the 2024 rally: "4,267 kilometers. Heights of Switzerland conquered. The heat in the sun almost got unbearable today, with our phones and navigational tablet shutting down, due to overheating. "New speakers installed in a parking lot. We got music again! What next? More of Switzerland, or maybe Italy or Austria? We'll see in the morning." #mongolrally #mongolrally2024 #theadventurists

"We climbed the highest peak of the Pamir highway, and it was epic!" Team Swetaly on the 2024 Mongol Rally a few weeks back, burning some clutch and making bedroom noises as they forced their tiny car up and over the Ak-Baital pass in Tajikistan. The 2025 rally is open right now. 🎥 @swetalylittle #mongolrally #pamirhighway #akbaital

The Mongol Rally

Welcome to the Mongol Rally: the greatest motoring adventure on the planet.

The Mongol Rally thunders 10,000 miles across the mountains, desert and steppe of Europe and Asia each summer. There’s no backup, no support and no set route; just you, your fellow adventurists and a tiny 1000cc car you bought from a scrapyard for £11.50.

If nothing goes wrong, everything has gone wrong.

Bo****ks to tarmac, ABS and gadgets that help you find your navel. The Mongol Rally is about getting lost, using your long neglected wits, raising shedloads of cash for charity and scraping into the finish line with your vehicle in tatters and a wild grin smeared across your grubby face.
