Hi Guys
The rally cars are now on the Alaskan highway, I have driven this route
myself and it is a great drive. Several of the crews had had verbal warnings
over the speeds that they are doing (I guess that it is either force of
habit trying to catch up with the other competitors or just a relief to be
on decent roads!) They have had a chance meeting with Pam Bell (Ex wife of
Derek) she is doing her own tour of the world in an RV. The Team Healey
Facel is having sump problems as expected, if you remember the sump was
based into the crankcase and they continued to drive like that until the
could have a temporary repair done, It would appear that this repair is now
failing and the crew had to turn back and have the work done again. The list
below shows the positions as of today in Alaska.
The next few off road sections are sure to catch some people out so look out
for some changes in positions. Rutted roads are one thing but washboard
roads are something else I can assure you!
