Saudi Hail Desert Rally
« on: February 09, 2010, 11:44:29 AM »

As some of you know, I have been asked to be the navigator for Team New Trix Racing (Ian & Sheila Barker) on this years Saudi Hail Desert Rally. Sheila normally navigates but the Saudi authorities will not let ladies compete. The car we are competing in is a lwb Nissan Patrol with a LS2 engine, twin Ohlins shocks on the front and single Ohlins shocks on the rear.



We have been out testing the last few weekends so that:
a) Ian gets used to me giving him directions
b) I get used to Ian's driving
c) I get used to what abuse the car can take
d) We find out if the cooling system works

Final tweeks are in progress on the cooling....

We leave for Hail this Saturday (2 day drive) and get back the following Saturday. The event timetable is detailed below:

Monday 15th: Technical inspection & paperwork
Tuesday 16th: Special Stage
Wednesday 17th: Stage 1
Thursday 18th: Stage 2

We have the pleaseure of driving in convoy with David Mabbs and his Baja style FJ Cruiser.
