FAcoat RALLY MONGOLIA 2019 INTERNATIONAL CROSS COUNTRY RALLY
「Onward to a Grassy Prairie Adventure」
This rally feels almost like a voyage at sea. It is a journey like the adventures of Sinbad traveling towards a flower paradise. Sand dunes attack like giant waves and beautiful blue lakes give off great visual appeal. This beautiful adventure is unfolding like an epic sea voyage that continues to the ends of the earth.

FAcoat Rally Mongolia 2019 “Ever more beautiful, the Grassy Odyssey”
Rally Mongolia has changed! You might even say drastically. One example of this is the catering and bivouac system. Essential equipment you will need no longer includes a tent or even a sleeping bag.
But more than anything else, the biggest change in this rally is a shift from a tough competition rally to a beautiful rally. The top cross country rally experts around the world with nearly one voice call it, “The most beautiful grassy plain rally in the world.” These experts saying this include the likes of Gaston Rahier, Raymond Loizeaux, and Yoshimasa Sugawara.
However, the top rallyists know that these beautiful landscapes hide an intense, rugged course route. The quest to know these beautiful landscapes even further is the current Rally Mongolia. This is the 21st century where unknown wilderness has all but vanished. Yet Rally Mongolia is a route offering beautiful vast landscapes, stunning scenery and an awesome natural world that people can no longer find anywhere else.
After getting numerous requests we have set our sights on Khar Nuur for 2019. The lake there has a color like nothing you have seen in this world and you feel like you could keep looking at it forever. Here is where we want to once again attack the heights of Sugawara Pass which still remains closed.
We want to go a little farther into the hilly area of sand dunes spreading out west of Uliastai. These beautiful sand dunes were discovered by helicopter in 2018 while attempting to find all kinds of varied and interesting rally routes. We will have to wait until spring before knowing a route can be carved out here or not. Though this new route will be beautiful and appealing, it certainly won’t be easy!

開催以来変わらぬ大会テーマは「Go beyond the Universe」星の彼方へ、そういう意味でもあり、それだけの意味でもない。宇宙とは、あなたの心と身体のことを言う。それを、超える。そこに震えるような感動、一生涯を共にする記憶として手に入れるのだ。これもまた草洋のオデュッセイア、その叙事詩の詩人になるのも主人公になるのも、あなただ。
