ade666:
if you need a navigator i'd love to volunteer. i'm trying to upgrade my rally Licence this year to international. hell if you need people to drive the support car. do they have a volunteers need ad's on the web site

Eeyore:
Costs above don't cover fuel for the event, spares and support service. also you have to be preapred to leave your vehilce in the desert if it all goes very wrong.

The there's the vehicle, a season plus of racing (to get the liscence).

And theres the four or five weeks off work, too!

As Wolfie said, we have a number of friends who have competed and they're more than happy to share their expereinces with them what ask.

Cheers
