Dark tunnels, flickering fire at the start and finishing line, extreme temperatures, 0% humidity and steep shafts characterise what is probably the most unusual downhill mountain bike race around.
Speed, physical endurance and perfect riding skills are essential on this difficult terrain which varies from potash dust to bare salt surfaces. But even all that doesn't guarantee success. Mental stamina will also prove to be decisive. Only the most difficult stretches of the course are lit. And at speeds of up to 80 kph, things can start to get out of proportion - the contestants will have to overcome this tunnel effect!
