No one has attempted to cross the Sahara desert by wind power. Few would be crazy enough to believe that it could be achieved. Mad Way South follows 4 adventure junkies as they race their Kite Buggies across 2200 kilometres of the Sahara desert. Initially they expect to encounter an endless sea of flowing dunes but instead they come face to face with a brutal landscape. It's not long before the intense heat and devastating environment push the competitors beyond exhaustion.
