This guy just full on fell down the mountain! [Rev Limiter] Winching!! I got covered in Mud! We're more than 10,000 miles away from home! 10 days of extreme off-roading and
camping in the jungle of Malaysia during monsoon season let's go to the
Jungle bro it's going to be fun I swear the heat is killing me today
and there's bugs everywhere blistering heat high humidity and being
exposed to every dangerous animal known to man if you see the tiger I'm sorry for you bye-bye Was it a bad idea or
the past adventure of my life Welcome to rainforest challenge
Grand Final 2023 glad you're with us! [Music]
[Music] Welcome to the Jungle! if you're new to this channel Hi - I'm Marvin!
My entire life I've been obsessed with off-roading and the adventures that come with it! Over
the last 12 years I put tires on Trails across North America in over 24 States and I
wheeled some of the craziest Trails out there! Crossing a road here is freakin' Anarchy
it's survival of the fittest Malaysia is a
Melting Pot of different cultures
you got a mix of Malays, Chinese, Indians and Indigenous tribes living together peacefully
Islam is the official religion of Malaysia and therefore we were under the false impression that
alcohol was actually illegal and not available alcohol is illegal here and he
said he wants a shot or something it's not! This is will my Colombian friend from Miami
who is going to join me on this adventure America F yeah!
We've known each other for over 10 years and I know
that he's
crazy enough to have a good time doing this People call him Mr Karnage he owns an off-road
shop and is deadly afraid of bugs [Music] During our first night in Kuala
Lumpur we decided to visit China town [Music] I love Asian food - Will was a little skeptical at first
Ooooh there you go! Not a chance. Want to try? Not a chance! I don't even know where to start on this.
By not ordering! You can't hate on that! That's good! it's just hard to eat it's like the hardest shell that I've
ever had. You can't crack that for anything!
it probably alive bro! On today's episode of Fear Factor
we got Marvin eating a crab! Never be afraid to travel! Never
be afraid to try new things! We just got back from dinner and shipping
containers are arriving with race cars! [Music] People are sending cars from all over the
world to this! It's absolutely nuts and then They just get dropped off in a shipping
container right in front of the hotel [Music] Will and I are on a little shopping spr
ee
to get the last little bit of equipment for rainforest challenge! We pretty
much bought everything in the United States except of the actual camping equipment
such as a tent - so now we're test fitting! Bro that's perfect I mean it's like.... Hahahah! It works. It gets the job done. Bro
better than the other stuff we're Looking at that actually works out pretty good!
Here's another setup but I kind of like this and Obviously because RAINFOREST CHALLENGE! Super
cool this whole town suppor
ts it! I love this! R.F.C. - short for Rainforest Challenge is an
annual race in the jungle of Malaysia during Monsoon season and has been around since
1997! It's been ranked as the 3rd toughest Off-road race in the world and is even in the
top 10 of the toughest motorized races on the Planet! The race goes for 10 days straight
throughout 5 different stages! Each stage Lasts between 1 and 3 days and consists of
around 10 SS's. So-called "special stages" 3, 2, 1 go! Run this way now! I run t
his way!
All SS's start with the driver Outside of their vehicle at the Marshall tent
where they have to press the timer - then run To their car which is parked in a taped off
square - complete the course - park in the Same exact square where they started
in - run to the timer and stop it. Yes yes! Russia! The cool thing about this event
is that it has competitors from Over 20 different nations and all
of them have their own recipe! For the most part you can say they are relatively
small 4
x4 Vehicles, limited to a 40 inch tire. These guys run multiple massive
winches: PTO so gear driven winches, Hydraulic or 24 volt electric winches.
The typical wheelbase is around 105 inches, Some of them have rear steer or at least cutting
brakes to allow for a very tight turning radius. The engines are turboed 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder or
even V8's - a lot of them are also diesel powered But more about this later in a separate video!
Subscribe to our YouTube channel so you Don't miss out on th
at! and now it's
finally time to head into the Jungle! [Music] One last hug to your bed before you have
to sleep in the jungle bro! For 10 days!! Dobraye ootra (good morning in Russian) What do you think of this stage? It's fresh!
That's one way to put it!! What do you mean he's underwater!
Oh yeah he is under water! How is this things is running under water?! Give it gas! Give it gas!
A bro! That was insane! No! No! No! Bro! We want to build a car for
this?! This is insane! crazy, crazy Rus
sian guys! DUDE! [Music] Uuuuuh I am speechless! holy [ __ ] guys holy cow! Dude he
roll this thing twice in the water! How calm they were! They didn't care! It
was just like another day at the office! Oh my God! when he flopped, I was like "that's it!" End of the show!
That guy was like "blub, blub, blub"! You see how the windshield was showing exactly where the water level was! Holy cow!
Completley sideways, no oil, like you can't hear knocking, nothing!
Very, very impressive! The entire ev
ent is guarded by
police - everywhere! This is a super super safe country but yet they
have police with us at the campsite, they have police at every single
stage and they're all heavily armed! [V8 Engine Noise ] I am soaking wet! Look at this! The whole
river came over the border! I'm soaked! Woohoo! BRO! Bam! Ok, we're at SS8 and our homies from Malaysia
and the Silver Samurai are coming through! Those guys know how to drive! They are killing it!
The Vietnamese team is going to go and the
y got a pretty pretty cool uh rig! It's
got a V8 and it sounds incredible! Look at that! It sounds like a freaking LS! WOOO! Yeah very technical climb!
Super technical! look at that! oh no! Their rear tire is stuck on a tree! And
they take the tree down and continue! Wooohoo! dude that was insane!
If you think this is crazy already you better hang tight! This
race gets tougher and tougher each day! [Music] All right guys, we made it back to
camp! Today was an awesome day of racing! Incredi
ble action! Now we're
back at camp and it started to rain, so welcome to the rainforest! I've never
sweated so much in my life as I did today! That was Poland!
I've learned so many languages in like 8 hours! It's crazy!
The amount nationalities that are here! So cool! That right there is our beer
supplier! He got like 30 packs of beer and in the back of his truck so he's the man!
What's happening here? Massage uh? VIP treatment because I've learned all these languages I
get the VIP treatmen
t! Habibi! Habibi William! [Music] Okay the guys just brought us breakfast!
We got coffee, I asked for coffee but this looks more like tea... I'm okay with it! It
comes in that and you put that in there and then we have the national dish year Nasi
lamak with an egg on it, chili sauce, rice - coconut rice and I'm not sure what
this green stuff is but we'll give it a try! We just packed all of our gear up. We had to break
down camp and now we're heading to a new stage, new location today in t
he jungle! In the jungle
somewhere but it's not very far I think it's like 10 km from here or something like that. We're
just headed a little bit deeper into the Jungle! [Music] We have officially arrived at the next stage
and the next campsite so racing and camping is now on the same location! You can see
we're in the middle of the Jungle! Still everything is RFC branded! These guys
do a killer job with all of this stuff! Hey, hey how you doing man? How's it going the
foot? is free food f
or media go and get it! Will and I have put our camp right on the
edge to get at least a little bit of wind! There's absolutely no wind here... but we
at least we believe maybe if there's wind, we're the first ones to get it!
So that's Will - that's me! Down there behind that bush is
a big river! That's where we can shower and just cool off afterwards which is nice! Kitchen and what-not is set up here! And
here they bring in water from the river, filter it it, then it goes into these tanks s
o you
get fresh drinking water! I think that's awesome! It rains here every single day! Usually multiple
times and the problem is that the camp is set up in a little bit of a slope!
So this may turn into a river! This is the hottest I have ever been!
You can drink the air! It is so insanely humid! You think you're just
sitting in a waterfall all day long! I'm going to send the Drone up
get a couple shots from above [Music] Crazy man! That is a gnarly course! It has
rocks in it, it has reall
y really steep hill climbs and then you come down from way up there
and then drop down into the river! Hang a right, go through these rocks and finish!
Finally some rain! Welcome to Malaysia!
Stage 14 is right there! So we're about to see a good show!
Rain is only going to make things more interesting!
Liquid sunshine my friends! Liquid sunshine! This guy just full on fell down
the mountain! He came from all the way up there and literally fell
down! He wasn't even rolling - he was falling! Oh
and that's the rental...
oh that sucks! That's the rental car... 4 minutes! 4 minutes! (remaining time..) Awesome little side fact: The organizers
and volunteers around RFC clean up every little bit of trash after each
day and actually revisit every single stage after the race to
plant trees everywhere they went! [Angry Russian Words ;-) ] Are you okay? Yeah!
They didn't even shut that thing off! They just let it freaking run!
I know! That's insane! Bro - the poor rental! If that happens to
a Hemi...
Dead! You know! Yeah... Ask me how I know... Bro that thing is trashed!
Oh look at the cage bro! That is what happens if you don't use D.O.M. tubing!
Didn't we just talk about that? Yeah so it was funny because they asked us what we use for cages
and we said D.O.M. and they said oh! We don't use D.O.M. - we're lighter! We don't really roll
over... we just flop! Well you don't roll... you fall! That dude just fell off the mountain bro...
yeah inside they have a reinforcement... So
it's broken! OMG! This bro... this is dangerous!
Yeah this could've taken someones leg off! By the way... Current situation: I hope I don't
have any leeches on my feet... I really do! yeah now he's using the tree to Pivot off
the tree to come down towards us. That should work! [V8 engine sound ] 6 minutes and 30 seconds! That
is more than half the time of most of these guys! Wow! Very good job guys!
Yeah! Thank you I think fastest time I think! You almost killed like two people! Go Go Go!
[Diesel engine sound] All right! William's got it from here!
I'm going to catch him back on the bottom! He's making really good time so far! 4 minutes and two! And he's about to come down!
Really good time! Come on! Come on! Oh no! He also slid into the tape! That's negative
points by the way! Sliding into the tape, breaking one of the sticks, backups
- all of that is negative points! [Diesel engine sound] 7:22 still!
The Malaysian kids just called me over - let's see what's going
on here!
It's a new tire! Brand new tire? yeah! Where did this happen?
I don't know! Maybe here in the rocks! Good job guys! Second fastest today here? Yeah yeah yeah! Second fastest!
Very good! Very good! Guys... it has happened... I
have the first leech on my foot! Glad I caught it! That was just a small one...
a big one I would have freaked the hell out! [Heavy Rain] I hope this doesn't get a lot more
crazy... another thing that I'm really worried about more than that
I'm getting washed out here i
s this! You see that pole back there? That is just
a tiny little wooden stick and the tarp on top of us is filling up with water! If that
stick breaks, I am taking a SHOWER tonight! Good morning guys! It is day 4! Last
night was rough - falling asleep was rough with completely wet hair, my face,
everything was wet! We're going to pull through with it. I keep thinking about an
exit plan or if we should find a hotel or something... ugh... we're going to pull
through! I'm going to pull throug
h! You're always on edge here! You
want to make sure you don't get run over or a rock flies and hits you!
Then you also want to make sure you don't lean on a tree too much because there's ants,
leeches, snakes it is the freakin' jungle! Let's see what what's in store for us today! All right! I just switched into some clothes...
I'm wearing stuff from the first day again. Just trying to be resourceful with what I got
and not run through all of my dry clothes. The tarp situation here was semi
ideal.
Will and I are right here - this guy's bed got completely soaked
with water came through here. It was raining all night
and the entire camp is muddy now, a lot of leaks in the tarp.
Here's our little charging station. I currently have my power bank on the charge. It's a
whole orchestra here to keep the show going. Not for the faint of heart.
I took my hat off my off my sneakers and something came flying out of it and stung me in my finger!
You can barely see it but it hurts like crazy
and I feel like my finger is swelling a little bit!
Jungle life! I'm telling you! Who's in the lead? Do we
know? Mostly Thailand... yeah This is SS14! This was a stage that they also
ran yesterday but not everybody finished it so I walked my butt out here and now we're
trying to cover this. It's almost like a creek bed but it's it is super muddy! Non-Stop!
There's deep mud the entire way through. Very rutted out, very jungly and
very humid as you can tell maybe. I got covered in mud! OMG! G
ood start of the day [Music] He's buried to his hip in mud! [winching sound] He should've use a snatch block!
He didn't use a snatch block and went around the corner and now
it's pulling him into the bank [Music] There is no coming through here unless
you have 60 inch tractor tires or something. Plus portals and a big block.
What's crazy to me is that the R1 and the R2 cars are driving on the same courses! So the
madness that you just saw - that was a R1 car! The R1 class is RFC's unlimited
class!
Everything is legal here as long as you meet the safety requirements
and stay below a 40 inch tire! R2 means stock modified.
Original chassis, modified body. R3 is the stock class. Original
chassis, original body. Portal axles with extra ground clearance
rear steer, hydraulic steering is not allowed. Basically just safety,
slight suspension and tire upgrades. We're exhausted. Both of us we are really
really really exhausted already. This has taken the life out of us. I think
we've
overdone it a little bit in the last few days with filming and running
around. We're paying for it right now. Every single bone in our body is aching
bad and this is just the beginning! We're only on day 4 of 10! I hope we can
make it to the end... I really do... we talked to the officials about the
upcoming stages and the most famous, the most brutal stage of RFC is
something called "The Twilight Zone" The Twilight Zone can be 30 - 40 miles
straight through the forest! No team support, n
o pit support, nothing! It can take
up to 30 hours so people sleep in the jungle! They don't even bring anything!
They just sleep on the ground! It's wild! I want to do it! I really want to do it because
it is part of the experience and it is part of RFC but the way we already feel...
I'm worried man... I really am worried [Music] As Will and I are walking to the Jungle
of Malaysia we're discovering our first issue. Well not the first issue but a new
issue. We really have to poop. Both of u
s. I feel like 10 lbs heavier than usually
it is either poop in the jungle and get bitten by a snake or... the people here
don't use regular toilets. It's basically a hole in the ground and then you squat.
We're a lot taller and a lot heavier and they don't have anything to hold on
to. We're definitely not the first ones to use it and if you lose balance
you got it's going to be a shitty day. Look at this guys this place! It looks
unreal! I feel like I'm in some Indiana Jones movie or somet
hing. I'm sitting here in
the jungle waiting for the cars to come through and there's noises around me everywhere! It's
crazy you hear something out of every corner! [engine sound ] holy cow it is so deep the car is Floating!! [engine sound] The one thing I've noticed is that
spectator parking here in Malaysia looks a little bit different than in America...! [Laughter] we made
it! Is this the stage now? huh? Bro this is insane! That was challenging!
You saw me going down? yeah we drifted! [
Diesel engine sound] he made that looks so easy! [Diesel engine sound] 7:20 minutes! Not bad! Good morning guys! What a night! It rained
cats and dogs all night long! It was super loud. Not the most peaceful night... that
freaking generator annoys the hell out of me. I don't know if you guys can hear it but it
feels like it's in my tent! That's how loud it is! This was the 5th night.. 4th nigh... 5th
night I don't even remember anymore! Today we're leaving this campsite and we're driving
to
another location where the Terminator stage will happen and I think that's where we will
stay for 3 nights. How was your night bro? Amazing! I went in for a little nap. A
little nap turned into a 12-hour nap. So I feel great! My back is killing me! Just
because you know... this is not the most comfortable setup. However I feel rested and
ready to tackle whatever comes at us today. [Music] Snake in our camp! Did you touch
it? William is freaking out! Watch out he behind you! A lot lot of th
e race cars are broken so they want to give the drivers enough time to fix stuff and
everything else is happening tonight! Welcome to Malaysia! We got a massage from the ladies well others did not get that
lucky and you know they had to improvise! [people cheering] We just made it to our Malaysian friends camp.
Their power steering cooler is busted and it's leaking. So they're trying to fix that over
there. We're just hanging out watching. This is great! We got equipped with brand
new merch
andise! Pro rock overlander 4WD. Only in Johor! all the way in
the south of Malaysia they have an off-road shop called Overlander
4WD right on the Singapore border. Let's check out what we got here so we
got chicken skewers, fried chicken wings, beans, these are fish balls and a warm
pineapple thing. This is crazy I eat better in the jungle than I eat at home guys!
It is now it is now 8:15 and now we're finally starting the 9th stage. Vehicles are lined
up, I'm wearing Crocs with neoprene s
ocks. Waterproof neoprene socks. The reason
for that is this stage is all in a river! I don't know if I can get closer than
that without completely submerging myself in water. Oh yeah as you can see that guy was
completely to his crotch in the water so this is as far as I can go. Unfortunately
guys, all I am doing is hoping I'm not stepping in a snake or something.
Seriously this is super super sketch. [engine sound ] I just got a shower! Everybody took a shower! Yes! go, go, go! Go! What i
s it? Yes! 2:15!! 2:15? yeah!
heck yeah! oh the clock says 2:13. Team Russia is on the starting line! Go! That's going to be fast!
That's going to be really fast! 2 minutes! 2 minutes and 2
seconds! oh my God! Alright! They beat it! There's a rally stage here tonight
so a high speed section but media is not allowed on that course. It's too dangerous, so they
have different categories, you know what I mean, not just water or mud or hill climbs but also
a rally stages where it's all about "go
fast"! Bad news for our Malaysian
friends in the silver samurai. The leak in the power searing cooler came
back... so now they have no more searing and they already fixed it with JB Weld
earlier... that didn't work. So tomorrow I guess they have to go and ask around
to see if they can organize another one. Hahah! Bam! Very cool! I'm I'm surprised
it didn't eat dirt coming up here. Okay guys, so I took a couple of vitamins and
salts and sugars and proteins and whatnot. I feel maybe 15 - 20
% better than I
did when I woke up this morning... Woohooo! Okay so - the Russian driver
here was about to come down and was trying to hold on to something and everybody
started freaking out about a bee and we were like yeah - a bee? Whatever..."tebuan" is
it in Malay - we don't know what it means in English but I'm assuming some sort of
wasp but they said very very dangerous! Oh my God... I'm not sure how funny that is
but like everything here wants to kill you! [Engine noise] he just rol
led right through it! That is insane! These winches just pull these cars up there
like it's nothing! That is a 90° wall guys! Whooo! That was close! That is at
least 8 - 9 ft and straight up! I found Will! Will was at the
camp with Lawrence and them. So I was walking to the next stage and I saw like
both of their cars taken apart. They destroyed the portal box, they broke the portal teeth,
completely twisted the shaft and bent the housing! Too much watata! Also too much air pressure
dude!
Like what the heck! But we'll see... we're going to the next stage, looks
promising sounds like a lot of watata! [engine noise] Come on! Make it over that freaking
log! Oh! ... and winch again. Come on! One shot! One shot! One
shot! Little Suzuki go go go! [engine noise] Yeah! Yes! That's how it's
done! Yes! Finally somebody! Today's stages are all really, really
hard to film. They're pretty long and a lot of them are going from the river
into the jungle and we just can't run that fast. It
's really really
hard to capture the race today. [Engine starts up] Oh man I love these guys! I love Russia!
I'm back in the jungle. Lawrence's team is about to go - the Silver Samurai. I'm
just afraid something's going to drop on me. Here they come! [Diesel engine noise] Woohoo! Let it Fly! [Diesel engine noise] Winching!!! They were trying to get it without winching but
this is too much and there's Roots everywhere! Yeah you can see right there it's super dug
out and then a big tree root r
ight over it you got to need a little bit bigger tire and
a lot more woopow's to make it over that. And the next mud hole with absolutely no escape... I found my shoe! I got no four-wheel drive in my Crocs anymore!
Marvin has officially lost four wheel drive on both shoes!
Show me Marvin you think they're going to warranty that?
I don't think so... Alright we're sitting back at Camp my little
wound here on my finger is half as bad. They gave me some disinfectant or whatever to put
on there. I
t's kind of blue and weird but I'll survive it if it doesn't get any worse. My finger's kind of swollen. I tried to get my Crocs, then I lost balance and grabbed into
this tree that was covered in Thorns about this size and grabbed right into them!
That's what caused this. Whatever. He's very hardhead about it. He's like
all right fine and I'm like - dude I'm the same way but like we're in the
jungle! We don't know what this is! What we're touching... there's spiders the
size of a shoe! They
're Chihuahua size! That's no joke! All right? The
last thing you need is a reaction that will cause major issues down the line!
I'm personally getting used to the humidity... I'm I'm drenched but I'm I'm getting used to it.
It doesn't bother me as much but I think Marvin is having secondary effects to his malaria
medicine because he's sweating really bad! Here's the next problem guys...
Everybody here is getting sick! Even Oleg, Who has done countless RFC's, is
vomiting, diarrhea and fever
! So far all I got is I had a little bit diarrhea one day
but usually the only thing that I'm still battling is my sweating! More and more
people in our camp are getting sick dude! The heat is killing me today! Let's
go to the Jungle... it's going to be fun I swear... NO! You're wrong bro! And
there's bugs everywhere! I want my house! We're both on the verge of a nervous
breakdown... we're trying to sleep, we're trying... we don't know what
to do. It's so hot here! There's not a breeze goi
ng! It is so hot and so humid
I don't know if we're going to make it... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO! Co driver got out immediately to
get set up for winching over there. Smart! He's lining himself up on straight line
instead of trying to turn! He's going to send it!! [Rev Limiter Noise] Holy cow! This guy is letting
it EAT! It's insane - the noise that are coming out of this jungle are
out of this world! William should have this covered for us so let's switch over
to William and check out what he's
got! Ratatatata
[Rev Limiter Noise] Hell yeah! Do it again! Do it again! [Rev Limiter Noise] Move the steering wheel! One more! One more! Bro that thing is insane!! That's why they're called "Redline Racing" because that guy lives on the rev limiter! Dude what a beast! They have their big electric winch
- dual motor 24 volt from giggle pin That is the winch line that comes
from this hook down in here. This hook goes down below and connects to
the rear PTO winch. Very crazy! Hello again! Oh y
ou're still here?!
Still alive! Where have you been? I got sick yesterday! Oh yeah?
Really bad! What did you have? I don't know... my stomach went
funny. Oh a lot of people in the camp are sick. A lot of people are
sick. Yeah me too! Everything! Fever, stomach - everything! I was just like what's
going on? But still alive. So.. That's something! Higher up! Higher up! Higher up! Higher up! There we go! Yes! Finally somebody
without winching! There we go! There he goes! There he goes! There
he goes!
Up! Up! Up! Up! Up! Now they're in the bush! They have to do a U-turn
back there somehow and then come back down. They might be getting ready to winch the back.
Who knows. I don't know what they're doing. Yeah Yeah! Oh they have a winch
on their on their back end! [engine sound] Smart! Yeah fastest time for sure
bro! That was really good time for sure! They had a winch coming down! I saw it! I have a video - you are like "Ratatatattatatatat" - Pause - "Ratatatatatata" - Pause
- "R
atatatatatatata" [Laughter] I'm like - that can't be stock bro! Oh damn! That thing is steep! Okay now I get it bro. This guy will do
amazing A.O.P. or at Windrock! [Rev Limiter] That's the marshal right there - telling
him to winch to not mess up the course! [Rev Limiter] Bro this guy is a rev limiter junkie! [Music] Today is day 8! Today is Twilight Zone day! All we're really going to bring is our
action cameras, plenty of batteries, a power bank, plenty of water, a couple
of snacks and li
ght and that's about it. What happened bro? I got stung by a bee!
The problem is, it hurts! It's everywhere! Are you allergic? No... I don't think so...?
I hope not! have you been stung by a bee before? No, first time! Ok, then you'll never
know! We're going to mess around and find out today! Now take these! All 6? At once? All at
once?? Ok... I'm going to overdose on this stuff! Hey what's up! Good morning! How's it going?
Good! All running? Yes! Everything is fixed! We worked on it until 3
or 4 a.m. - we
slept for like 2-3 hours only... and now we're going to do the Twilight Zone? Yes!
Those guys just brewed us up some coffee! Let me tell you... it makes you hear colors!
Jeez! How's the coffee bro? So strong! This is all of our water, food and
everything supply! This is our life! Our life is literally in the hands of
this backpack! Oh he already got it! He's got it! I stole this! huh? I stole this!
Where? Where from? One of the police cars! I think you guys crazy! There are
6 river crossings, lot of mud, lot of slush and you as a media walking... I
mean you don't have a car and possible tigers, elephants, vipers, cobras, scorpions
and not to mention the leeches! Yeah! Tell us good luck for the Twilight Zone!
Yes! All the best and remember it's all about team work! It's not about racing!
Now it's an expedition and everybody goes together helping one another! That
is the spirit of the Twilight Zone! Are you ready? Ready! Who are we?
RFC! Who are? RFC! Who are?
RFC! This was an adventure of a lifetime
already but we're going to one up it! At some point we were unsure
about it... and then we were like: let's do it! And then no and then
yes... now here we are! We're going! [Music]
[Engine Roar] We got Ratata right behind us! [Music] All right! First actual obstacle! A little river
crossing that is turning into a absolute Mudfest! I think this is our only way to cross
this.... Without getting seriously wet! I made it over the tree barely! Barely! It
got sketchy once or twice but I made it! You made it? All right! Back
on the car! Back on the car! That hurt! That hurt bro!
A Couple of feet further and the next obstacle here. This one looks
super epic! You have to go around this River Crossing there's a waterfall coming
down! Man this is cool! Not very tough, little technical but not very
tough but man it is gorgeous! easy peasy! We're going to get these boys
through here one by one one by one by one! Before we left they warned us of t
hese plants
that have these nasty thorns! Well one of them already got me -luckily just my shirt and not my
my actual - OUCH! It actually did get my shoulder! Locker! Locker! Come! Come!
Come! Come! There you go! Hey! Hey! Hey! bro oh he got it! They don't listen bro... it's incredible! I have a feeling you know what you're
doing! Yes! We do this for a living! We're going to teach these guys how to rock crawl
by the end of this trip they all know what to do! Go! Go! Go! Go! See! That's
how
it's done! Hell yeah! All right - for this one we got to build
a bridge so they're taking these big logs and almost using it like a rail for them to
slide over and catch traction I'm assuming... no now they're throwing them in... okay.
Lockers!! Lockers!! I have no words... Hey look at me look! At me! Come! Come! Come!
Go! Go! Go! Hey! Back up! Okay go! Small Bump! Small Bump!
Hey your tire pressure is too high! Lower your tire pressure! Oh see! It works! Look! Look! Look at me! I'm the capt
ain now! Go! Go! Go! Go! Holy cow guys! This is insane! For the last
10 km I've been holding on for dear life! These guys are completely insane! We're
going like 30 miles per hour through the deep forest! This was the first time
where I'm not getting slapped in the face by palm trees and all kinds of other
debris! My whole body is cut from plants! I'm hurting everywhere, my arms are so
sore, my legs are sore, this is insane! Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, England
and Colombia here on one
car! Finally I can catch a breath! This was one of the most intense things I've ever done! This is not fun. I have to say this
was not fun. None of this was fun. Wow I don't know where William is. He jumped on the car with the Philippine
guys, they were behind us at some point. That's wild! No! No! No! No! Look I found a little friend on my hat. I just really hope that William is okay
because they still haven't made it here. It's been like 15 - 20 minutes
and still haven't made it here. Sor
ry! it's okay! holy crap. I really hope this is not going to be it
for the entire time. My legs and my arms are on fire from holding on to that car
over bumps and creek beds and what not. Everybody's doing a little lunch and snack
time here right now under palm trees. Bro I'm exhausted from holding to
the car. Jesus Christ, I'm glad it wasn't 28 hours like they said imagine that.
But this is the easiest twilight zone ever! Bro this is brutal I'm beat just from holding on.
Watch out there's k
ing cobras here they already found one back in there.
Really? Yeah! Oooh King Cobra! My arms my shoulders everything hurts!
Have you had enough water bro? I don't know my head is really killing me. You
need to drink more water bro. Take one of the big bottles out of the back and chug
it. I can't even open that. I get it for you. For the drivers - so far this has been
like a nice Sunday cruise to the mountains of Malaysia. For us media people that have
to hold on to the cars this has been h
ell. No I feel uh weak. Like my my whole
body hurts. I hope I'm not getting sick. Will is not feeling good. I hate to see my
friend like that. Our health is obviously more important than finishing this event.
Is this going to be the end of our journey? Guys I have absolutely zero idea what's
going on now. All of a sudden tow trucks are showing up from everywhere and vehicles are
getting loaded up. I'm so confused! Tow truck, tow truck, tow truck - what is going
on? Nobody here speaks Englis
h! Do you know what's going on?
As usual. Waiting! No but is the stay no more Twilight Zone then? Yeah it's finished! Why?
I also expected that it'll be more difficult. But it was maybe 5 - 6 km?! That wasn't it right?
Not 5 but maybe 13km. Our navigation counted 13. But anyways, now we're driving
more than 100km to next campsite! Mr Will is feeling a lot better, he was overheated just like I was two days ago!
It was really bad! Yeah... Finally! Our ride has shown up! After 2 or 3 hours
of si
tting under the palm trees. This would never fly in America but you do what you got to do. Okay good. No
you guys! I'm sitting here! Later on we found out that what we saw
was only a tiny bit of what was supposed to be the Twilight Zone! The leading car
missed a turn and everybody followed! Very unfortunate but that explains why it went the way it did! We made it to our camp. We're going to set up our camp now and call
it a very early night because we are beat! Today is the last day of raci
ng! I'm pretty
sure we're going to see a lot of rocks, a lot of rock crawling, at least from
what I can see so far! There's big, big rocks I left my tend open last night
to sleep so I can get a little bit of an air flow in there and I woke up, covered in
ants this morning! Welcome to the Jungle! Yeah! Send that rig! This is the doctor that took care of me yesterday!
He has a special drink! Hydration! Yeah! Yeah! No! No! No winch! No winch! No winch! aaaah.... boring! boring! boring! [engine
noise] Yeah! Yes! Go! Go! Go!
Passenger! Passenger! ohhhhh Oooohhhh - ripped the link bar off
the frame and the drive shaft! Bro the Vietnamese guys are full sent bro!
He literally jumped a rock pile! Ripped the control arm off, the drive shaft came off!
This is what we want! This is what we came for! oh whoa whoa whoa whoa! Will! So as soon as they jack up the
front end they should be able to fix it [engine noise] yes! There you go! Point and shoot bro!
Point and shoot!Point and shoot! No
! No winch! Bro go more driver!
More driver! More driver! Yes! Yes! Heck yeah! Driver, Driver, Driver! Yes!
Stand on it! Go, Go! Go! [engine noise] Yes! Heck yeah! Heck yeah bro! That was awesome! [Applause] Russia!!! Heck yeah bro! That was good stuff!
No winching! No winching! I like it! Heck yeah! This my friends was definitely the
toughest Adventure I have ever been on. It more than deserves to be in the top
3 of the world's hardest off-road races! Our Russian friends in the orange Suzuk
i
Samurai number 115 took the overall win! In 26 years of RFC there has never been
an American team entered into the race! Should we build an RFC car? Let
us know in the comments below! [Music]

🚨 This Sunday at 8:00pm eastern time we’re going LIVE here on YouTube and talk about the trip, show you guys unreleased footage and give you a more detailed look of how RFC cars are built! 📺🔥
I love how you stepped outside of USA to discover how amazing is offroading in other countries. I hope you can continue to report races or offroad events all over the world.
I'm soooo glad someone finally covered this race! I've been curious about it for years, and you did a great job sharing the experience 🤘. I kinda want to build something for this 😁
Build it and they will come!!! Let's wheeeeeel!!!
That was wild Marvin. Thanks for the pain you went through to get us that footage.
Hi Guys, I'm an American and live and work in Saudi Arabia. I understand how tough it is to get sick from food and water outside of your normal. You have now tested how epic your immune system is. This was one of your most epic videos, loved every minute. The team on their side with the driver under water running a winch and driving, OMG WOW. If you like to travel come to visit me, my 4X4 team will take you the route of the Dakar. Ever climbed sand dunes 400 meters high?
This was amazing. Didn't know this existed, but I couldn't stop watching. Kudos to you guys for suffering out there to get us this content. Would love to see a US team enter!
Outstanding work : choosing to step outside of your comfort zone in an unknown country, filming in atrocious conditions (heat, leeches, bad sleep and possible food poisoning, and finally some top tier editing !!! I really enjoyed this one because it was something different, but it doesn't mean that all your other stuff isn't good, don't get me wrong ! And of course it would be great to be the first american team, but it will be a hell of a job for the co-driver, running around with the winch all the tile, heck for both of you actually ! Not sure a pink helmer will be enough to help you ;-)
That was crazy thanks for going and giving us a show

Great job, Marvin and team. That was one heck of an adventure! 😀
Hell yeah! You guys should pair up with Rory - build one and go!!!
Bro ! Amazing video! I've been following your channel since the beginning and also RFC, you two together are incredible! Hats off for u Marvin !
I love that at 45 minutes in you all start questioning again whether you can do this and immediately go into you guys loving it. Stay the course boys… as you guys always do ❤
So stoked to see rfc content from North American perspective. It’s crazy stuff. Those pto godwinches are savage
Yes, more of this please. Even if you are not driving. The length of the video is about right. Just personally I wish it was about a half hour longer. Thank you for taking the massive amount of time to share this with us.
Dude! I need to see more of this content! You guys are legends. Everyone. Great efforts. Keep up the great work.
Been looking forward to this since you announced it last year. That stuff was nuts 🥜 especially Twilight Zone. The adventure of a lifetime!!!
I've been wondering where the flex rocks and rollovers team was, this was well worth the wait, thank you for taking this challenge and letting us all experience this with you!
