Land Rover's 'Around the World in 70 Days'

Led by Russian blogger and traveller, Sergey Dolya, he and his team will cross the globe behind the wheels of 2 Land Rover Discoverys in an effort to beat the world record of renowned Jules Vernes who completed it in 80 days. In total, the challenge will see them driving through 21 countries spanning across six continents – Europe, Asia, Australia, Northern and Southern America, and Africa. Their adventure will end exactly 70 days later back in Moscow on 15 August 2018.

34 days and 6 countries later, Sergey and his team entered Singapore’s borders on 12 July 2018. Travelling more than 350km from the Malayan archipelago to sunny Singapore, they enjoyed the luxury of space and comfort of the Discovery.

A mini convoy comprising the Discovery Sport, Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Sport, and 4 Defenders from Land Rover Owners Singapore (LROS) warmly welcomed the Russian team to Singapore. The convoy gathered at Robertson Quay Hotel, before navigating through the interlace of Singapore’s roads.

While weaving through the bustling Central Business District, the impressive and traffic-stopping Land Rover convoy stopped by prominent landmarks, to enable the Russian team to absorb the sights and sounds of Singapore.

Culminating at Marina Barrage with a group photo as memorabilia for the Russians’ brief but meaningful time, the convoy bid the Russian team farewell as they embarked on the next leg of their adventure towards the Australian continent.
