Jeep Speed enters the Maya Rally - Mexico 2012

World Rally Team

NAXJA Forum User
Our team will be participating in The MAYA RALLY 2012 that starts from colonial Guanajuato, Mexico to the end of the world! Guanajuato is home to WRC Mexico, and was also where UROC MEXICO and MXRRA were organized back in 2006-2009.

The MAYA RALLY is a multi-week, multi-national, expedition scavenger hunt and challenge course. It pits teams of overland drivers in their own vehicles against one another and the elements, traverses thousands of miles of variable and unknown terrain, enters rarely-seen locations far off the beaten track, and spans countless foreign horizons.
The MAYA RALLY is an overland adventure distilled to its most raw form: there is a start, there are designated challenges which must be completed for points, and there is a finish. Everything else is up to you.
There is no route. There is no support. There are few rules. :eek:
If you break your will, if you break your body, or if you break your ride, you are on your own.
At a remote point deep in the forests of Latin America, at the farthest reaches of your long and perilous journey, you will be received by an End of the World celebration in your honor, and if you win, recognized with a healthy reward.
That is, if you make it. :scottm:
The MAYA RALLY will confront you with the fact that the world could end for you before it does the rest of us.
Get ready for the carnage? :firedevil

Especially at the infamous PLANET GTOROCKS, the best rock crawling spot in Central Mexico. If your team is interested in participating, there are 2 more spots left. There will be a movie filmed about this rally, great international exposure for your race team and sponsors. :woohoo:

Here are some pictures of PLANET GTOROCKS and colonial Guanajuato, GTO Mexico (The Real Mejico!

Looks like a blast. Good luck out there!
What is the total distance involved and what's your logistics plan, esp. for fuel?

How come you didn't just put rear windows back in?
Are the suction cup camera mounts for race use? Might want to consider screwing them down if so,.. I've shaken those loose wheeling.

BTW, love the stablemate in the first couple pics.
 
Had a crazy adventure and some problems at the border but finally we rolled in last night into Guanajuato...more updates soon!

Here is a quick update
