    Slightly off topic but not really, I think it would be great to set up a rally for Chinese dirt bikes only. Could be lots of fun and hangin' out.... could probably even find a couple sponsors for prizes n' such!

    Well it's on.

    Only 44 motorcycle riders though.

    Looks like a Chinese woman won the first day.

    The Chinese want to make it a full international rally in 2012.

    I'll believe that when i see it! They're gonna pull xinjiang out from whatever secret place they burried it? And allow foreigners to win? Like not "you can enter but if you're not chinese it's just for fun" ?

    Kudos to that chinese chick for winning the first day!!! Do you have her details perchance? (phone no, culinary preferences etc...)

    From China daily but there reports are few and far between.Only one report so far. How are they going to make this an international rally when you hear nothing about it?They must of forgot the internet is back on.I guess after 10 months with out internet they got used to living with out it.

    Thanks Big-D! It will definitely be interesting if it does become international in the next two years.

    On one hand i'd probably put money on it not happening.. on the other... Who knows?!?! Crazier things have happened in China so guess we'll have to wait and see.

    Would be sweet to cover it if it does.. that's for sure!

    Well, they have a F1 GP, they had MotoGP, there was DTM and A1, so why not a full grown rally next.
    If it would really be an international, well organized event with all the sponsors, fans and top teams participating, I could imagine it has success

    What they don't have the Moto GP anymore.

    Xin jiang did have that Trans-oriental rally that had competitive stages there a couple of years ago and the international competitors had good words for the Xin jiang stages.

    So who knows.
