Hottest Road

In one of the driest deserts on earth, World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson and Superman actor Henry Cavill set out into the extreme heat to put themselves, and their vehicle, to the test. Crossing the Taklamakan Desert in western China isn't something to be done lightly.It's a place of shifting sands, home to some of the largest dunes on the planet, where the landscape changes constantly. It's also a place of extreme temperatures: as low as -40°C in the winter, and over 50°C in the summer. Will the team successfully complete this expedition in a part of the world that is changing so fast, they may be some of the last people to experience the wilderness of the desert in quite such a spectacular way?
