.1.   The eligibility

People who are not health conscious and physical fitness conscious, they can not participate in the rally to rule but they can support from the back end. The format of motor rally is - Participants and Volunteers at front end volunteers at back end.

2. The vehicle

Beyond deciding on your teammates, selecting your car is the biggest decision you’ll make in preparing for this expedition. With the no restriction being engine size, you can let your imagination do the rest.

3. Charity selection and fundraising

There’s more to the R2R India Rally than the ongoing challenges. It’s a wonderful opportunity to give something back to the world that you’ll be driving across. The Adventurists require you to fund raise Rs. 5,00,000 (four lakh) for bike and Rs. 500000/- (Rs. five lakh ) for car, as  part of your participation and also for road safety and also to set up chain of sustainable road safety centers SRSCs on major highways across India. 

Everyone you meet from now until the start line will be fascinated about your adventure, so take this opportunity to ask for donations, however big. Rs. 500000 isn’t much once you’ve arranged all your friends and family, so aim higher. Two people can raise funds of Rs. 20000/- to 25000/- each for 18 - 20 months. It’s a great opportunity to give some legitimacy to your summer of high Jinks. 

4. Sponsorship

It’s not impossible to do the 56 days Rally (fuel, food and accommodation)  for free. Some of our compatriots had companies write healthy cheques in return for photos and videos of rally cars plastered with their logos bouncing around the Altai Mountains, or desert. Negotiating these terms, however, takes persistence and dedication. Businesses aren’t going to give you money without good reason, so look for angles which may relate to their fields, and remind them of the fact this is not a holiday but an expedition of epic proportions. 

If you’re finding money hard to come by, speak to local businesses who may be happy to give you useful equipment – camping shops or mechanics for example. In exchange for a couple of Instagram tags, you might be able to save a few hundred or thousand rupees – enough to compensate at least ten Indian policemen.

5. Route selection

There’s a start line, a finish line, and not much else in between. For me this is the Rally’s finest quality. In the few days following the Indian lunch, there are organized festive pit stops in Indian cities, but from here on out the rest is dictated solely by your time, budget, and bravery. The Adventurists are not the hand-holding type, and leaving each team to fend for themselves in whatever remote corner of India they deem appropriate to drive through is a fresh, liberating experience. 

Briefly glance at a map, calculate how much time you have and start chasing the rising sun. Popular routes include cities and suburb and Indian villages, negotiating with cargo ships to take you across the start point. If you get lost, just watch on the mobile app and look for the locations of other participants, something which we found useful on more than one occasion. 

6. Equipment

Spare wheels and tyres, jerry cans for fuel, tents, sleeping bags, duct-tape, tow rope, and a pillow. That’s the basics covered. Every year cars roll up to the start line decorated with a bizarre collection of items, and you’re encouraged to compete with the best of them. OK, so you’ll probably get more use out of a full tool kit. Doing something outrageous will build a profile for you and your charities, and raise smiles for five thousand miles. 

7. Getting home again

The R2R India Rally has changed recently, with the finish line having moved to the Indian city, town and villages. When you arrive, celebrate!  After all, you have just completed Bharat Parikrama - R2R India Rally and check your vehicle and if it is scratch free then you can are eligible to be recognized as revolutionary superhero 

Once the dust settles the take your car back into home, by either driving, or having it transported by logistic or cargo train as you fly.
