Hi. I also want to do this -- in a Kamaz truck, and throw all the best parties en-route. No need to win (although, I'd have a good shot in the truck category), but rather to be known as the team who has the most fun/style. Plus providing free wifi via satellite at all the basecamps, UAV aerial photography, etc. would be work-related.

I do know some people who have g-wagens, etc. and also want to do it, and a crazy f650 rider. There are some people who do the dubai desert rallies, but that's really an entirely different class.

I'm thinking 2008.
