Press Release Summary: Traveling through 11 countries, former and current conflict
zones and every possible type of terrain; The Caucasian Challenge is a legendary
entry into the popular motorsports travel phenomenon.

Press Release Body: April 11, 2008, Budapest, Hungary. Amateur motor sports
enthusiasts and first timers get the chance to explore overlooked but culturally
rich regions with the Caucasian Challenge. Urging their audience to \"look closer\"
the itinerary takes participants through an incredible 11 countries beginning in
Budapest, Hungary. Traveling through the Balkans and beyond, organizers have planned
their route to include scenic off-the-beaten-path roads and geo-caching challenges.

The Caucasian Challenge is organized by experienced explorers and travel
professionals as a way to see areas inaccessible by any other method. Participants
head south-east into Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania,
Macedonia and Bulgaria before leaving the Balkans and crossing the Bosporus Channel
into Turkey. They will then navigate the full length of Turkey, including the area
near the Iranian boarder into Georgia before leading down to Armenia and the
politically uncertain area of Nagorno-Karabakh before reaching the finish line in
Yerevan, Armenia.

Astute observers will recognize the names of the route locations for their part in
the famous Balkan conflicts of the 1990\'s or current turmoil in the area of
Nagorno-Karabakh. Lead organizer Attila Berenyi manages a blog on the Caucasian
Challenge website that informs participants about current news and strategy for
dealing with difficult areas and uncertainty. Perhaps a key indicator of the
organizer\'s technology strategy is the official car - an ancient Soviet Moskvich
with new windshield wipers, fuzzy dice and rally stickers.

As a part of the larger Chennai Event Management Services\' roster of motorsports
events, the emphasis is on discovery and having a great time instead of setting any
land speed records. While parties are not planned for every night en route,
spontaneous celebrations are an encouraged way to meet other participants and locals
interested in checking out what is sure to be a memorable spectacle.
International teams from Germany, Norway, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Great Britain,
the US and South Africa have already registered prompting organizers predict a full
registration ahead of the final cut-off date in mid-August.
