This is not true.

You have to raise at least £1000 for charity in the first place and that all goes to charity - all of it.

They sell your car at the end and that goes to charity too.

The only bit that isn't for charity is the entry fee and that goes toward the starting event, the party in the Czech republic, the finish line and the organisational costs of both the rally and the car auction, as well as the side benefits of the official repair points and visa help.

Not only that, but the Mongol Rally is far more of both a community event and a challenge than the Charity Rally which has no limits on car size or much in the way of organisation.

If I was considering the Charity Rally as a strictly charity event I'd just do it myself. If I was doing it for fun and adventure and a good social vibe plus raising money for charity on the side, I'd go with the Mongol Rally (Which I did).

First off - congratulations!

Also - those carbon-fibre legs look really sci-fi - do you ever feel slightly like a kick-ass cyborg from the future?

Hi Alicia, I contributed to your kickstarter and saw you play live at the 12 Bar Club in London a year or so back, so my question is:

Do you have any more UK gigs coming up?
