And so it goes.
Regulations Version 1 is now live - Regulations
Rally guide is live - http://abudhabidesertchallenge.com/rallyguide2016
With two months to go preparations are starting and some of the local GCC crews are getting ready. We have a few events left in the local championship as well as some non-championship rallies to get the cars and crews tested before ADDC. Unfrotunately I have missed the first half of the season and have not been out in the desert since late last year. Probably means a lot of testing in March and breaking in my co-driver who only starts racing. Probably also means no more pies and beers until after the prize giving at ADDC 2016 (thats if we start and finish). By the looks of it we are having a much more comfy outing then last year when we had organizers tents to sleep in. This year hopefully will be different. I will be driving a Predator X18-S built under both SCORE and FIA regulations. The buggy is being rebuilt now and gets a new engine, new electronics and tune, revised cooling system, some changes in the steering and a new cab ountline giving more space to driver and navigator. We are also looking at integrating a CTIS and additional storage for things we carry. Unfortunately no hydraulic jacks as there's simply no place to put them on. Should be an interesting couple of months.
