FIGHT TO THE FINISH

The battle for the top awards in the Rainforest Challenge of Malaysia, the final event of RFC Global Series (RFCGS) for 2019, raged for 11 days from start to finish, with the protagonists coming from Asia, Europe and South America.

This year, the monsoon gave the participants the wettest start to RFC in 24 year, with heavy rain falling at Panau Hill on the first day of December, turning the battle grounds quickly into a quagmire of mud.

Despite that a record number of 42 Special Stages (SS) were held during the 11-day race at four major ‘battle stations.’ There was the Prologue SS (Panau Hill, Tanah Merah), Predator (Air Naga, Tanah Merah), Terminator (Istana Sangkut, Sg Rek, Kuala Krai) and finally at Gua Musang (RFC’Kesedar).
