Participants

Rally Round Director Liz Wenman and Route Designer Mark Appleton returned from a third and very detailed recce of the Thunder Dragon Rally brimming with enthusiasm for the adventure to come. Meanwhile entries have been rolling in from friends, couples, accomplished rallyists and novices alike. Particularly gratifying is to see the return of so many 2014 Road to Mandalay competitors. Some people were so keen to reserve their place that they haven't yet decided what car they will drive, but here's the latest entry list. No fewer than 10 nationalities are currently represented, with participants from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, UK and USA. The latest entries are David and Adele Cohen from Vancouver in a 1931 Ford Modal A, Bill and Biddy Bolsover, who have yet to declare their car, and double Paris-Madrid Rally winner Alastair Caldwell, who has chosen his car but not his co-driver. No doubt all will be revealed in due course! Alastair is currently competing in the 2015 TransAm with his 98 year old mother, Dorothy, as his navigator. What a team!
