The 11th Raid-de-Himalaya will pass through some of the most breathtakingly beautiful and yet, harsh terrains of the Western Himalayas. Rallyists will be climbing over some of the highest motorable passes in the world, including the Tanglang La, the second highest motorable pass in the world, and spending nights under sub-zero conditions at camps.
GeoTerrestrial was selected by the Himalayan Motorsport Association for providing real-time geolocation services for leg 1 for all vehicles in the X-Treme category. Not only will this give the organizers a birds-eye view of progress, assistance can be directed more optimally in case of an untoward incident since ambulances strategically placed along the route will also be geolocation enabled. And of course, by virtue of being hosted on the web-based geoterrestrial platform, anyone anywhere in the world can follow the event live from their desktop, right now at http://www.geoterrestrial.com/geogroups/?group=raid-de-himalaya
