The 4th annual running of the Silk Way Rally saw a field of 84 cars and 24 trucks compete in the grueling Off Road challenge.

The race is seen a s a warm-up for the world famous Dakar rally but is by no means easy, with many cars failing to finish. Competitors must complete 5 days of tough terrain from Moscow all the way to the Black Sea, a journey of over 4000 KM.

We spoke with some of the drivers as they got to grips with the course and talked to us about the toughness of this rally.
