D9OSV Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Wrong event Mate........ We are doing this one : www.rainforestspain.com Sounds a lot of fun, 5 days racing without outside assitance in +35Degrees B) meaning you have to carry all your fuel, parts, bedding etc... Amazingly though you do not carry your food as Fires are strictly banned as are gas stoves and cookers due to the risk of fire. So to make sure no one is tempted to do anything stupid they supply the rations...... If you make it to the the check point Can not wait, should be three British teams going, if anyone else is intrested pm me. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filipe Santos Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 JIM, In Setember, the wheather is usually hot, but if it rains... You may need some diving equipement. . The place in the picture is in the track of the European Cross cars, every year we have an SS there. In the year of this picture was the worst, i stayed there 30m and my cpu broke down and i had water in the fuel tank as well. All the others years, we did ok. In 2008 we will be there in the last night(saturday to sunday), during the last 3 SS, it all depends how the organization makes the SS.
