The Transsyberia Rallye, a gruelling driving challenge that took contestants from Moscow through Siberia to Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia began. The 6,600 kilometer route crossed the Ural Mountains, subarctic forests, and the Altai Mountains. The route continued across the Mongolian plains and through the Gobi Desert. 25 of 34 registered teams will be driving Porsche Cayennes – the Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia Edition. These vehicles contain numerous modifications to improve the car’s stability, handling, and safety, and were built exclusively for the TransSyberia Rallye. The race was won by Rod Millen.
