Thank you for alternative links but this is not the highest motorable pass Semo La Tibet is the highest motorable pass :)

I never claimed it was the highest motorable pass, its the highest motorway taken by an F1 car for sure.

You are partially correct, but it is considered as the highest motorable pass, but disputed by some (although not proven until now). For your information:

Khardung La (Khardung Pass, la means pass in Tibetan) is a high mountain pass located in Ladakh region of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The local pronunciation is "Khardong La" or "Khardzong La," but, as with most names in Ladakh, the romanised spelling varies.

The pass on the Ladakh Range lies north of Leh and is the gateway to the Shyok and Nubra valleys. The Siachen Glacier lies partway up the latter valley. Built in 1976, it was opened to motor vehicles in 1988 and has since seen many automobile, motorbike and mountain biking expeditions. Maintained by the Border Roads Organisation, the pass is strategically important to India as it is used to carry supplies to the Siachen Glacier.

Local summit signs claim that its elevation is 5,602 m (18,379 ft) metres high and that it is the world's highest motorable pass. But these claims are disputed by multiple modern measurements, which all agree that its true height is much nearer to the 5,359 m (17,582 ft) measured using DGPS and imply that there are several higher motorable passes.

Fun fact thats related to Indian Defence that I should mention (since we are in a Defence Forum): This motorway pass is what allows India to strategically get supplies into Siachen...

If we are going to play this game, then marsimik la in India is the highest motorable pass :)

Semo La tibet is the world's highest motorable road while rest indians claims are false

Khardung La is widely, but incorrectly, believed to be the world's highest motorable pass. There are higher motorable passes at Suge La, west of Lhasa, 5,430 m (17,815 feet), and Semo La 5,565 m (18,258 feet), between Raka and Coqen in Central Tibet.

Cool Story bro... how does this have anything to do with the World Record I posted about?
