Ultimate Racing (UR)

How far would you go to win a stage?

We would invest significant time, effort and resources in actively hitchhiking which includes networking with people, being resourceful, staying physically fit, planning routes effectively, and consider unique approaches like adopting a puppy on the route and providing a red carpet for the drivers except walking which is not a option.

What shouldn't be missing in your hitchhiking-backpack?

There will always be enough food to keep up the mood and a towel, because as everyone knows, a towel is the most essential item for any hitchhiker in the galaxy.

Your Grandma's opinion:

Dear [Your Name], I hope this letter reaches you in time before you embark on the hitchhiking race through Europe. First and foremost, I want to express how much I love you and how proud I am of you for taking on this adventure. It's truly impressive that you have the courage and curiosity to seek out new experiences and explore the world. However, I also want to share my concerns, as it's in my nature as your grandma to worry about you. Hitchhiking can sometimes be unsafe and unpredictable. Please be careful and prioritize your safety. It's important to always listen to your gut feeling and intuition. Trust your instincts and use your judgment when it comes to choosing which drivers to ride with and where you stay. Don't forget to keep in regular contact with me so that I know you're safe and sound. I'll be thinking of you and supporting you as you travel through Europe. I hope you see this journey as an opportunity to embrace different cultures, make new friendships, and create unforgettable memories. Also, remember to take care of your basic needs such as getting enough sleep, eating healthy, and taking breaks. Look after yourself and stay vigilant. I trust that you'll make wise decisions and take care of yourself. I'm excited to hear all the stories you'll share with me when you return. You're a wonderful person with a big heart, and I know you'll approach this journey with openness and respect. Take care, my dear, and enjoy every adventure that life has in store for you. With all my love, [Grandma's Name]
