One word describes Mongolia vast. It is a huge place, and its spectacular landscapes are among the least inhabited on this planet. Mongolia’s 604,000 square miles that’s three times bigger than France are occupied by just two and a half million people. And more than a million of those live in the capital of Ulaanbaatar (UB).
The rest of this giant country, landlocked between Russia and China, consists of arid steppes in the north and west, while to the south is the massive Gobi desert. There are few people living in the remote regions, and no tarmac roads once outside the main population areas just miles of tracks crossing the huge landscapes. This supreme 4x4 country and it’s no surprise the venue for the G4 challenge finals. Next summer 18 national teams, each consisting of one male and one female, will compete in four week of adventure sports such as mountain biking kayaking climbing and running as well as off road driving.
