You will find rbailey, jasonE21, shirt and myself at pretty much every motorsport event held in the UAE be it desert racing, car and bike racing and the 24hr race.

Richard and I have very, very understanding families, either that or they want peace and quiet.

We made it to the end, which is a victory in itself. 24th overall and 10th in class.

Well done to Richard (and his welding skills) and the rest of the team. The original winner Nasser Al Attiyah has been disqualified for "modified suspension". Mulder and & Scully might speculate that this is a consequence of him winning last years Middle East rally championship.............
