The Asia Cross Country Rally takes place for the 23rd time in August. With regard to the demands placed on drivers and vehicles, the Asia Rally is comparable to the demanding Dakar Rally. In addition to sand and river crossing, competitors in the Asia Rally also have to tackle jungles and swamps to reach the finish in Myanmar.

Open Country M/T is particularly well suited to these challenges: it was developed for demanding off-road driving and ensures optimum traction and good braking behaviour on all surfaces. In addition, it is particularly resistant to damage in order to ensure drivers reach their destination. The latest Open Country M/T-R, is an innovative racing version of the Open Country M/T.
