Only one week to go to the start of the longest, greatest endurance race in the world. The next time you hear from us we will be on Argentinian soil heading for Cordoba on the 1st stage of the 32nd Dakar. This week has mostly involved double checking all the equipment before we board the plane for Buenos Aires next week.

There was some last minute licence collection to be done as the FIM licence to race in the Dakar arrived in Belfast this week. Thanks to Jim Cray of MCUI and Damien Tolan of MCUI S/C for sorting this out for us in advance of the race start next week.

We had coverage in the Sunday World this past week and thanks to Finn Gillespie for his entertaining article on our participation in the race. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank 4×4 hire Scotland Ltd. And Buchans for Towbars for their support as the newest sponsors for Team Dakar Ireland 2010. Also to wish everyone  a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year and we will update you once we get going on the ground in Buenos Aires for 10,000km of offroad heaven!
