Press Briefing on Simex Rainforest Challenge (RFC)

The countdown has begun. The moment of truth will be dawning upon all the participants of the Simex Rainforest Challenge (RFC) in less than three weeks, starting from 28 th November to 7 th December. According to Encik Mohd Shukri Baharom, CEO of Continental Sime Tyres (CST), "Simex Jungle Trekker 2 and the Simex Extreme Trekker will once again be the teams' greatest assets in overcoming the awesome obstacles to come. These tyres were born in the RFC and have now proven to be an unbeatable tyre for extreme off-road conditions. Simex is proud to play a part in putting Malaysia on the international map of 4x4 adventure with the RFC." The event briefing was held at Sime Darby Tyre Technology Centre Theaterette on 8 th November 2004.

"And the monsoon rains have come early this year, expect heavy downpours to continue till December," commented Mr Luis J.A.Wee, the event founder and director at the same briefing. "All the local and international teams will have a great time overcoming the odds, enjoying camaraderie and coming up winners in their quest for adventure," he added. Furthermore, this year will be a record year, bringing in participants and press from 29 countries, beating its own Malaysia Book of Records for Most Countries Participation in a 4x4 Event achieved in the millennium year 2000. Also present was Mr Choong Kee Seng, the Sales & Marketing Director of CST.

The arrival of the foreign teams and their vehicles will itself be something for the general public to see.
