Thanks for dropping by. My response below...Rupesh,<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by. My response below:<br />1. Yes, I am aware voting is not the sole criteria- but your site says that is one of the main criteria for getting eligibility into subsequent rounds. Voting could have been kept for a later stage- say after assessing basic driving skills of the participants etc, than keeing it as first barrier. Something like, show people how good different participants are at driving, and then ask public to vote...In the current set up, unless one mobilizes a huge group of people to vote for him he just won't make it to next round, irrespective of everything else. your views please...<br /><br />2. Agree. But only 3 couples get to drive 3000 kms. Would have been good if more participants had a chance to drive, may be lesser duration/distance at least..<br /><br />3. Good to know.<br /><br />Thanks again.Shrinidhi Handehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875443161762278339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-27836933427708142092009-07-20T19:46:52.560+05:302009-07-20T19:46:52.560+05:30Hi Shrinidhi,
Well I am associated with the campai...Hi Shrinidhi,<br />Well I am associated with the campaign and stopped hereby after a google search.<br />Would like to rectify few pointers being mentioned in the blog post:-<br /><br />1. Voting is not the only parameter. Please go through greatdrivingchallenge.com/blog the official blog that describes the parameters and the judging process. We are transparent enough on this.<br /><br />2. In cricket language, GDC is like a test match rather than a ODI or 20-20 match i.e. it's not a race or rally. it's beyond just traveling 3000 kms in 12 days. It's about how interesting you could make your travel with your blog posts, pictures, videos .etc. apart from your driving skills.<br /><br />3. About the similarity with MTV roadies, yes you can say it's first web-based reality show in India. Well, the brief given was "Mitsubishi Cedia Sports is not supposed to be kept in the parking lot/garage" and from where it took the shape of this event.<br /><br />cheers,Rupesh Mandalhttp://www.experiencecommerce.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-66760285888415808462009-07-19T14:02:40.535+05:302009-07-19T14:02:40.535+05:30Nidhi,

I believe that your remarks are perfectly justified and in the right spirit. You have every right to criticize the concept as the next man.<br /><br />Actually I think these reality shows are rather boring. I think you should participate in an old fashioned Rally race. However, it might require some kind of training and/or special license.harihttp://harishankar.org/blognoreply@blogger.com
