This one was a little tough to pick a section for cause it's a pretty unique event. The 2014 Rainforest Challenge started on the 27th of November in Kuala Lumpur and will finish December 8th in the same city.

This is the first year UTVs are competing and based on our limited info at this time it looks like three UTVs are running!

Our boots on the ground out there (Mr. Ernesto Araiza) sent back some cool shots from Fridays Scrutineering (which is a lot like contingency).

He got to see two of the UTV teams and get a taste of the rain waiting for them in the Jungle.

One of the UTV Teams is all female, competing out of Brazil and the Philippines using a chinese UTV.

The Other UTV team is running a (mostly stock looking?) Polaris Rzr 1000!

From the pictures it looks like if they were using a stock UTV they should have purchased a Highlifter version with the snorkels and higher clearance.
