It looks like fun...
And these are the 9 stages...
And these will be my trusty steeds...
(subject to some serious fettling, based on the Proxy Raid performances)

The organisers are very happy with the number of entries since launching the event less than a month ago...

Good luck, the Union Jack is a beautiful addition to the entry list, but the Sea Sex & Slot entry seems a little racy.

I fear that might be the highest up any list i get on this event!
But it won't be for want of preparing or trying!

Welcome to BARRacer at FDD4...
he is the first Englishman to come to us and we will receive him with great sympathy...
If you too, colleagues and friends of Jeremy, want to join us, there are still places left...
Do not hesitate...

Bonjour Francois!
Merci de m'avoir fait sentir si bienvenu / Thank you for making me feel so welcome.
So there is a chance that I might achieve the honour of...'the highest ever finish by a UK entrant'!!!

I think the Raid guys in the UK are sending Jeremy on a "scouting" mission to how it works out
I love the event but the timing is not so good for me because of other commitments,
But I am wishing him lots of luck on his first Dakar

Any advice from MYST (either by public or private means) on how you got your truck to run so well in the Extreme Slotting Proxy would be gratefully received!

I remember this truck had 2 motors to drive front and rear wheels independently.

I have acquired my third Raid vehicle for the event...
From what I can fathom, it should light up like a Christmas tree once I put some power through those braids!
How can that not bring a smile to your face?
