Recently, the Sony Ericsson has announced that they will sponsor the Transsyberia 2008. The title of the rally is this: “Transsyberia Rally 2008 powered by Sony Ericsson”. What a highlight. In the rally that takes 4347 miles of off-road adventure from Moscow to the Mongolian capital, one of the Sony Ericsson’s handset, the C702 Cyber-Shot will show its special features as the suitable outdoor cell phone.
About one month before the registration deadline an international starting lineup is announced. Armin Schwarz, rally professional and former European Champion is present again. After the rally in 2007 ended for him with an accident right before the finale, Schwarz wants to steer towards victory with his new co-pilot this year. Andy Schulz, the very experienced, two-time Dakar winner, is the navigator. With these two the Porsche AG is sending a high level German team in the Cayenne S Transsyberia to the starting line, which will surely be counted amongst the absolute favorites. From Italy comes the established team Tognana/Cassina, who placed second last year. The Swedes are newly attacking with Peder Silfverhjelm in Toyota and Mirko and Bojan Risovic are driving for Bosnia-Herzegovina into the Russian and Mongolian vastness in a Land Rover. Switzerland is also participating in this challenging rally with Aurele Bachmann and Damien Blanke in Mitsubishi. Now that there’s already a participating group of professionals and amateurs registered, it promises to be an exciting Transsyberia Rally 2008 powered by Sony Ericsson. You can go to www.transsyberia-rallye.com for more information.
All vehicles have to feature series-production standard, only those technical changes which are permitted by the regulations are allowed. “We don’t want a technological arms race, or teams which have to compete with budgets in the millions”, so Richard Schalber, off-road expert and manager of the Transsyberia Rally. That’s why the participation fee of € 2.500,00 for 14 days (if registration occurs by May 2nd, 2008) is relatively low.
