Land Rover 64 Challenge Kicks Off Final Stage of Competition in Las Vegas

   WHO:          Land Rover G4 Challenge

   WHAT:         The G4 Challenge is a global adventure that tests the
                 skills of men and women from 16 countries in various
                 adventure sports and off-road driving tasks.  Having been
                 around the world since the start of the Challenge, the
                 competitors are heading back to the West Coast to kick off
                 the final stage of the competition in Las Vegas before
                 finishing up in the adventure capital of Moab, Utah on
                 Saturday, April 26th.  A nearly 40 vehicle convoy will be
                 departing the Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas on Tuesday
                 morning.

   WHERE:        Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas
                 101 Montelago Blvd.
                 Henderson, NV 89011

   WHEN:         Tuesday, April 22, 2003
                 9:00 a.m.

   Competition:  16 competitors function in eight two-person teams and
                 choose how to reach a series of location markers. Kayaks,
                 mountain bikes, climbing equipment, GPS tools and map
                 coordinates will be provided to assist the competitors in
                 reaching said markers.  The team with the most points at
                 the end of each stage wins that segment.  An individual
                 overall winner will be crowned at the end of the Challenge
                 and will drive away a new Range Rover.  The Challenge so
                 far has traveled from the urban jungle of Manhattan, to the
                 lush South African coastline and deep into the Pilbara
                 region of Australia.

   Vehicles:     The Land Rover G4 Challenge will exclusively feature
                 Land Rover vehicles.  The competitors will drive a
                 different Land Rover on each stage of the Challenge.

Interview opportunities are available at a 7:30 p.m. dinner tonight while outstanding photo and digital opportunities are available at the kick off at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow morning, both of which are at the Hyatt.
