Filipe Santos Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 From 3 to 11 Setember 2011 - 8th edition 7 days of hard work, few hours slepping, rocks, mud, water water and water. Remember, "no outside repairs". You have to get to the end only with the spares you take in the truck. We have Portugueses, Spanish, French and hope to have at least 5 UK teams. Martin Stainer, Paul Bass (Challenger4x4), Jim Marsden (Gigglenpin4x4) are some of the names we expect to have between us. You will for sure enjoy the country, the people, the food and of course the wine/SUPER BOCK. And a great time offroading.

Filipe Santos Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 is there a cost for support trucks ? That video has far to much water in it for the v8 guys :-) . I m looking at next year to be fair, No cost for support trucks, but remember, NO EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE ALLOWED. If you use it, 40.000 point penalty. You have to take all in the truck. About the water, you just need to know how to swim.... We have people with V8 (Range Rover and Santana) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
