Imagine driving 16,000 miles in 25 days over some of the roughest
terrain in the world, at altitudes up to 16,000 feet, where engines
and lungs gasp for air. Imagine 500-mile speed trials over rocky
mountain tracks, racing against the clock and 95 other cars.
Imagine attempting this more than 50 years ago, without GPS or cell
phones or modern safety equipment. In April 1970, 241 men and women
from more than 20 nations did just that, setting out from London in
cars ranging from a dune buggy to family sedans to Porsches,
Rolls-Royces, camper vans and a Jeep Wagoneer, determined to get to
Mexico City. Drawing on personal recollections of competitors,
organizers, marshals and mechanics, this book recounts the
ecstasies and agonies of perhaps the toughest endurance motorsports
event ever--the London to Mexico World Cup Rally.
