Land Rover is inviting applications from UK drivers to take part in the third G4 Challenge. Only strong athletes with high stamina levels and good team spirit need apply.

"We are looking for some strong competitors to fly the flag for the UK in this awesome adventure challenge," says UK Managing Director John Edwards. "If you are adventurous, enjoy travelling, driving and adventure sports, the Challenge will provide you with the experience of a lifetime - taking you to some of the most remote places on earth, where you will participate in wild adventures over terrain that will test both body and mind and push Land Rover vehicles to the max."

"You have to be ready to give 100%," adds Brian Reynolds, the UK representative in the 2006 Challenge. "Nothing else even comes close to the richness of experience and the awesome sporting challenges that you will face. I am positive the new format to this year's event will make it even more exciting."

That format involves a three-week trek through Asia in 2009. Two drivers (the most successful male and female applicants) will make up the UK team, which will compete against other teams from 17 countries including China, Russia and the US. For the first time, the Challenge will raise money - estimated at over £1 million - for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and the winners will be given a Land Rover vehicle to present to their country's Red Cross or Red Crescent.
