Day 4 - Made it to Hampi. Have done 650ish km. Tuk tuk still working. The mileometer and speedometer have never worked. Roads are crazy, bus drivers are the worst. Stayed in a nasty hotel in Mysore and slept under a tree near Hampi. Have gatecrashed three Hindu festivals and eaten their curry. Drinking lots of Chai. Seb danced with an elephant. Nearly ran out of petrol twice. Up at 6am tomorrow, heading to Hyderabad. Tom

Day1: So today's launch started with as much comedy pomp & tribal drumming as a 1940's black and white Tarzan film. Brilliant... Rituals finished and the race so far seen Tom and I breakdown twice, dance with an elephant and pay extortion money to a 6 year... 160 km in 4340 km to go. Nice. Seb

A 5 minute test drive around town proves these things are slow, difficult to drive and generally rubbish! We're now sat on the start line... Tom

So today we met Ruby the little beast that will be our faithful Tuk Tuk. A stunning little machine well pimped, showing off her aquired new MOD insignia. Race starts Sunday... Apart from that the day has been busy, well if kingfisher beers and paddling in the Indian Ocean counts. Good times! Seb
