Desert Challange - This weekend

[rabailey]

It's Desert Challenge time again next week and the prologue is this weekend.

If your bored come down and say hi. I will be there with Newtrix racing, car no 326.

The prologue is on Saturday with first car off at 1500 and should be finished by 1600. It's at Yas Marina circuit, near the DU arena / Hotels.

To the surprise of nobody, I will be down there helping Alan & Dave with their motorbikes.

Are they going round the Yas circuit on Saturday then?

For once I have no golf planned this weekend, will see if I can get a pass to pop down.

Do we get pit access like at DA?

[rabailey]

No its on the dirt. Check out the maps in my link.

Tried that but they don't work for me?

Edit - got it from the website

Sorry, think the link got trimmed. The info is on the website under the 2014 info / maps.

I assume it is pretty spectator friendly?

If I go up it will be an excuse to dig my camera gear out and use it

[rabailey]

Yes, lots of access and its close to the rally hq / service location which you should also be able to get in.

Sadly I'm in Bahrain for the weekend otherwise I'd be there... best of luck to all.

Typically, the first time I've been able to get time off anywhere near the Desert Challenge week, and I have to go home to get married.

Hahaha, one day!

Come the DC !

Well that is the documentation done and dusted. The bikes get their technical inspection at 8am tomorrow!. Richard on the other hand doesn't have the car inspection until 11am.

Me and a mate heading down on Sat for the sss, best of luck lads!

[IanUAE]

Well the 2 riders are doing well and all is good. Bad news for the Barkers though (and hence Richard) as they rolled the car yesterday. They are fine but the car is not looking good.

[dxbtiger]

What numbers are the competitors you are all involved with?

I'll see if I have any photos from Sat.

Bikes number 15 and 16. Got a mini with all 4 wheels in the air this morning.

I'll have a look see if I got them.

Was hoping for a jump on the SSS, no such luck and 80% of them looked like they were out for a casual Sunday cruise!
