coastlines and mountain ranges, to bustling metropolises and brought together participants of all ages and all walks of life vying for the title- The CEAT Mumbai Xpress Autorickshaw Rally World Champion 2007. This year is also the 50th anniversary of the Auto rikshaw and suitably, the CEAT Mumbai Xpress Autorickshaw Rally 2007 was on the road as a not-for-profit event to raise funds to improve the lifestyles and educational opportunities of India’s children.

This Tuk Tuk rally was not only about the competition however, with the spirit of the race being routed in the enjoyment of the journey and the charitable goals of the rally. This main goal of improving the educational opportunities of India’s children was fulfilled by the participants themselves as they managed to deliver around 10 tonnes of books and supplies to local schools along the route that desperately needed them. This year’s Autorickshaw rally was a tremendous success with all of the participants completing the rally and having a hilarious journey along the way with their incredible medium Tuk Tuk, with parties and chances to explore the different regions of India at every stop. The title of CEAT Mumbai Xpress Autorickshaw Rally World Champion 2007 was won by the team Pukka Tuk Tuk.
