The Desert Dash is run in compliance with the International Sporting Code
of the FIA and the National Competition Rules (NCR) of the Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI). The
Desert Dash is a Time Speed Distance rally that
comprises a set of instructions specifying a route to travel, and a speed at which to travel. A team, consisting of a driver and a
navigator, attempts to travel the specified route at exactly the
specified speeds. The Desert Dash is not a race. Traveling too fast
results in penalties as does traveling too slowly. Arriving too early at a
checkpoint hurts the team's score, as does arriving too
late. The team is scored on how closely to the correct time they arrive.
The route has been carefully charted to cover lightly-traveled terrain with breath-taking views. Of course, there are prizes at the end - but as participants will discover - the journey
is really the destination!
