Episode 2

With 250 kilometres of desert still to cross, the expedition stumbles on an abandoned Soviet military town called Choya. Ten thousand Russians used to live there up until 15 years ago. The old Soviet airstrip is the perfect place for a little grudge match between the Itala and Spyker, and Dutch horsepower triumphs over 'spaghetti power'. Then it's off to Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia's capital city.
