Asian Cross Country Rally
The Maxxis-sponsored Ford Escape Team conquered Asia’s
most challenging terrain to claim victory in the 2002
Asian Cross Country Rally! The two-vehicle team earned
the top two spots in the T3 Prototype Cross Country
Class: Arthur Chen and Johnny Yen won the
championship, with Kenny Cheng and Lihuang Lui close
behind for 2nd Place.
Driving Ford Escapes equipped with Maxxis Buckshot
Mudders, the team overcame constantly changing terrain
through forests and jungles, including mud, rocks,
caves and grass—all made worse by heavy rain. The
2,500 kilometer, six-day journey took them throughout
Thailand before ending in Cambodia August 8th. The
rally is said to be the toughest off-road competition
in Asia.
Knowing they would encounter a wide range of
conditions, the Ford team chose the Maxxis Buckshot
Mudder, which is designed to outperform the
competition in such situations. Most importantly, the
Buckshot Mudder provides traction in off-road and wet
conditions and has a strong, reinforced casing which
offers puncture resistance and durability.
