Tadayuki Sasa, AXCR director and founder, has recently revealed the information to the Vietnamese media in Ha Noi.

Sasa said Viet Nam had suitable terrain, great supporters and excitement to welcome international-level sports, making it ideal for the event.

The crew is working hard in practice to upgrade their cars to reach International Automobile Federation (FIA) standards.

The AXCR was first held in 1996. It is the continental biggest rally across up to 4,000km off-road. It is held every year in August starting from Thailand.
