The 2006 Challenge
Now the time has come to do it all again. However, the 2006 Land Rover G4 Challenge promises to be tougher and more spectacular than the inaugural event. This time the action starts amongst the intensity of Bangkok city, and ends at high altitude on the plains of Bolivia. In between lie thousands of miles of vehicle-based adventure, strategy and sweat. At the end of it all waits a new Range Rover for the winner, and the knowledge that they completed a tough test of both body and mind for everyone who competed in the event.
But just getting to the Challenge is a test in its own right. Would-be competitors have to complete an entry form, after which each nation will hold a selection event. The top three competitors from each nation - one male, one female and one of either gender - then go to an international selection and training event in the UK.
At the end of this event, to be held at Eastnor Castle, only one competitor per nation will be chosen to take part in the ultimate global adventure. The remaining competitors will act as reserves, in case their nation´s chosen competitor is unable to complete the Challenge.
The following nations will be represented during the 2006 Land Rover G4 Challenge: Argentina, Australia, Belgium & Luxembourg, Brazil, Chile & Costa Rica, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, Russia, Taiwan, Turkey and the United Kingdom
