At this point we want to say "THANK YOU VERY MUCH" for the great visualization work done by Atlogis!

Through their "artwork" we were able to see all the Racetracks in nearly Live visualization each evening before the Stage starts the next Day. Running the movie every evening for up to 1 hour gave all competitors the chance, to check the upcoming Stage and get a clear picture of what is to be expected next Day.

Thank you Very much, specially to Kai Pieper from Atlogis for this wonderful sponsoring!

We finished the Race!

Despite that again the Internet connection broke down, all of the
participants returned well and save via plane. The concept of the race
start in the south worked well. The next days this newspage will roll
up with all the news and results.

The winner in the category T1 is Agof Abdulmajid and Copilot Nasser
Hwas on a Mitsubishi L200 with the total time of 47:46:43. Second
Place went to Alkasem Ali Al-Jadia and Copilot Mohammed Nagasa. Third
Place went to Drdera Salah and Copilot Chaled Drdets. Despite that
Salah had a bad accident on stage 2, he called us to keep the car in
valuation. The Copilot changed then to the drivers seat after
screening in the hospital.

In the classement Quads the first place went to Deltrieu Hubert with a
total of 21:50:42. Second place went to Redal Jean Michel and third
place went to Sicre André.

In the classement Bikes the first place went to Van Dorp Bram with a
total of 22:57:53. Second place went to Van Bergeijk Henno and third

Race trucks were only set with one truck, on the steering wheel and
gas pedal with Roverto Musi.
