Participating in the Simpson Desert Bike Challenge requires that the rider bring a support crew or join a commercial support team.
The following is a guideline for the cost of the event excluding any 4×4 vehicle prep that might be required i.e. additional jerry cans for fuel, water tanks, fridges etc.
The SDBC does not get involved in financial negotiations between riders and their crews, but it’s normal for the rider to cover the cost of fuel and food whilst the driver provides the vehicle.
The budget is an estimate created by Martin Solms and includes an itinerary based on a crew living in Sydney.
