After the Maximiser, the convoy moved 200kms north east to the hottest town in Australia – Marble Bar – in preparation for the final day of West Australian competition. Fittingly, as the teams arrived at Marble Bar the thermometer read 32 degrees centigrade. And it was 10 o’clock at night!

The competitors must endure another day of the harsh Australian Outback before relocating to Sydney for the Urban Maximiser on Sunday. This is sure to be spectacular as it includes many of Sydney’s famous landmarks.

回顾骆驼杯-Camel Trophy：

Camel Trophy始于1980年，最早由骆驼烟草与美国Jeep合办，后改为与英国Land Rover汽车合办。骆驼杯锦标赛的创始者最初将这项赛事设计为驾驶4x4穿越“全亚玛逊公路”，追求的是简单与真诚，但自从他转向水上运动，并进行长时间电视直播后，这种风格就不复存在了。那时在巴西人们将穿越全亚玛逊称为“公路”，实在是一种溢美之辞。比赛的主要目的是检验参赛者的越野技巧和4x4卡车及装备的性能，这个比赛以野外探险生活为主，没有名次及奖项，只有一纸完成赛事的证书而已。

Land Rover现已和骆驼杯分家，自创Gee Force (G4)来宣传自己的品牌，但G4赛事的基本形式却源自其以前举办Camel Trophy的模式。
