Gordon Wilkins covers the London to Sydney Marathon

The driver who is fastest over the 10,000-mile route of the London to Sydney Marathon will win £10,000, and this kind of prize money has attracted to the event most of the world's top rally teams.
Which obstacle will strain the cars and the crews most-the Khyber Pass or the Nullarbor Desert? Why are British manufacturers so anxious to win? Is this three-week race to Australia-starting at Crystal Palace on Sunday-a publicity stunt or a test of courage which will endure in the history of motor sport?
Judith Jackson and Stuart Turner ask team managers and drivers for some of the answers at the finish at London Airport of the R.A.C. Rally of Great Britain.
