Before I decide to participate, I would like to know the following:
1) Confirmed car clubs that are participating
2) Detailed itinerary and programme
3) What does the RM 2,000 cover? Is fuel, toll, food, etc covered with this fee
4) Any VIPs invited/confirmed?
5) What press will be attending?
6) Is insurance provided?
7) Is there breakdown assistance during the convoy?
8) Any police escorts?
9) How will immigration be handled?
10) Who are the confirmed sponsors?
11) What is the objective of this drive?
What are the benefits to the participants?
Sorry if I am asking many questions but I believe that these are very basic and pertinent details that would help club members here make an educated decision.
I for one am interested, but the details provided are very vague. RM2k is not peanuts, I would like the confidence that this event has all the neccessary standards of an international event before I decide. I am sure that a lot of members are interested but have trouble justifying/quantifying the value of this event.
Thank You.

7) Is there breakdown assistance during the convoy?
- Yes there will be but participants are advised to throughly check to make sure cars are in order and to bring your own, battery water, coolant, spare engine oil, octane booster (important as their petrol not as 'good' as ours).
Just note that the Emergency Response Team is by proton and their expertise on our very temperamental cars may be limited. We are hooking up with AAM as well but as yet unconfirmed.
