You Marshall a team on this event and follow them round to the special stages and make sure they don't do themselves any damage. The vehicles are not so lucky.
Team 19 in stage 22.
The Teams have to get their 2 vehicles to punches that are in very tricky places. They have punch card attached to their vehicle and the punch is on a wire attached to a tree or rock.This means some careful driving and winching to get there.
Plenty of running repairs were carried out over compulsory 30 min lunch break. This Series 3 with 200tdi engine had driven from Cambridge to compete in the event. The owner was planning to drive it home afterwards. He is used to being far away from home. He shipped the same vehicle to Malaysia in 2003 to compete in the Rainforest Challenge.
Driving between stages on Forest Roads.
The front tyre is not punctured. They were running them at extremely low pressures to get maximum traction.
