Best of luck to all of the 2017 Mongol Rally teams! The next 6 or so weeks will be the best of your life - enjoy it, and follow these rules:
1. Always stop to help other teams stopped on the side of the road. Brixton Village People - Mongol Rally 2016 stopped to help us in England half an hour after we left Goodwood; you can stop, too.
2. Any problem can be solved with time or teamwork. Wait long enough and anything can be fixed - ask Mongol Rowley how that worked out for them.
3. There are mechanics, convenience stores, and gas stations in more places than you'd think.
4. Never walk to the gas crater.
(I was going to tag more teams in those hints, but screw it. Shout out to Team , 101 Damn-Nations - Mongol Rally 2016 Team, So Good It Yurts - Mongol Rally 2016, Him and Her, Team Jäger Battalion - Mongol Rally 2016, Back 2 Yak - Mongol Rally 2016, Grand Steppe Auto Mongol Rally 2016, Marley Safari Rally Team, Dutch Mongols, and literally everyone else. We miss you guys.)
