Mad Way South is a trans-tasman challenge like no other - man and machine pitted against the harshest environment in the world at the end of the Saharan Summer - Two Aussies and Two Kiwi’s racing in Kite Buggies across 2,500 km of the worlds toughest terrain to claim the rights to be the first to have ever crossed this desert by wind power alone.

 

The brain child of adventurer Geoff Wilson - this wind powered odyssey began as a challenge and evolved into a race with the inclusion of the Kiwi team - Steve Gurney and Craig Hansen. Garth Freeman completes the foursome of mad wind driven men set to start racing from Northern Morocco on August 3rd 2009. Mad Way South will also be a forum for road testing and demonstrating the effectiveness of survival and outdoor equipment. We will also focus on promoting eco-friendly, carbon neutral travel. The entire adventure will be filmed and an adventure series made by Jason Markland Productions in association with Lincoln Williams of Fotomedia.
