Any of you race guys, please add more/better info.

The competition will last 12 days from May 28th to June 8th of 2010 covering over 4,000 km. There are eight race sections, the longest being over 2,000 km. There will be 20% more desert than that of the previous year. The race route will cover Turpan, Harmy, Bazhou, Hetian and Aksu with the final route being released after road inspection in March of 2010.

The rally will be divided into car, motorcycle, and newly-added trucks. An international racing group will take part in the invitation race. There will be car racing teams and motorcycle racing teams from all around China as well as overseas racing teams for the invitation race, there will be over 200 racing vehicles competing in the rally and the number of riders and drivers will reach nearly 400.

The whole thing is supposed to be tightly monitored with GPS on every vehicle, speeding and dangerous driving will cost competitors points and fines.

Thats's about all the information you can get from this site http://www.atr123.com/Index.html the rest is the usual cultural drivel without having any concrete info or procedures for entering or registering for the race.

Cheers!
