The Great Driving Challenge was a 2009 online reality show and marketing program created by Hindustan Motors Limited, in India, where the top three finalists or couples got an opportunity to drive a Mitsubishi Cedia Sport. It ran from June through August 2009. The finalists were selected by the jury members and given the opportunity to drive the Mitsubishi Cedia Sport to cover a minimum distance of 3000 km over 10 days. Among the finalists, one winner was determined on the basis of their daily web-posts, photo/ videos uploaded and regular internet updates during the course of their 10 days driving challenge (also, called the ‘Drive Phase’). The winner will get a prize money of Rs 10 lakhs (roughly US$25,000). The contest encouraged couples to apply online. The three selected couples went on an all expenses paid challenge in a customized Mitsubishi Cedia Sports for twelve days. On completion of the challenge, one couple was chosen as the winner based on the blogs and the experiences they shared online, and took home one million rupees as prize. The team of "One Foot Wild", (Radhika Raj ) and Bharath Belliappa, were announced as the winners in August. The judging panel consisted of Mr. Adil Jal Darukhanawala, editor of ''Zigwheels'', the official media partner of the contest, Ms. Tanya Chaitanya, Editor ''Femina'' and others.〔 ==First stage== In the first stage which started on June 22, 2009 applicants had to register themselves and collect votes. The first stage came to an end on July 17. From here on the jury members selected the top 100 couples on the basis of some set criteria. Some "cutoff" filters were used to come up with a first shortlist of few hundred applicants, who were then scored by multiple members of the jury. A few applicants were disqualified after examination of their email logs. Each jury member had access to a web-based scoring sheet. Each criterion was scored separately by one ore more members of Jury, before arriving at total score and final average. The Jury reviewed the TOP 100 list, before releasing it for announcement. The jury later said, "We are aware that there are many excellent bloggers, photographers and passionate travel enthusiasts who did not make it to the final 100." The jury increased the chances of shortlisting good applications, to the maximum, by: (a) Expanding cut-off filter to more than70% (that means we looked at all applications which were 70% complete or more) - to be more inclusive. (b) Lowering the votes threshold to as low as 30 (anyone with number of votes lower than 30, demonstrated lack of enthusiasm to participate) - to be more inclusive (c) Lowering the testimonials threshold (for same reason) - to be more inclusive (d) Relaxing requirement of Google Map - to be more inclusive Relaxing the cutoff filters meant there were more candidates the jury had to contend with - thus more effort. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「India's Great Driving Challenge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
