And there you have it – Willy (yes, yes, the Dandy himself) and the crew at the Roadbook foundation couldn’t hold it any longer and had to get yet another great rally on the road. This one, was special in many respects but mostly because: the road was entirely new (not too difficult in a …

Your Christmas present, delivered early…
And there we are, again, gifting you these incredible opportunities to go travelling without moving – who (except JK, of course) knew? Anyways, we are probably overstating our case, granted that this trip is offered to you not by us – we so wish – but rather by, you’ve guessed, our friend Willy, the very …

Meanwhile, still in Argentina…
And while we were slogging it through bad weather in unknown provinces, Mariano, our colleague from the USA but really from Argentinean descend, was rallying in grand style with friends – a true case of horses for courses right there. Going from winery to winery around Mendoza, in landscapes that were just impossible to describe …

Meanwhile, in Australia….
And yes, the season is truly back – though this might be the winding down for our Australian friends – then again, what a ways to go: a 4 days rally through the back roads of Victoria culminating (after all sorts of gastronomic, track times and assorted libations as only our cousins Down Under – …

The Targa Classica – a splendid 4-days adventure Down Under
Taking their inspiration from classic European events, the organizers of that great Australian party certainly have brought together many of the best attributes that make these successful – from a well thought-off itinerary through the popular Yarra Valley to multiple regularity challenges, track time (of course) and superlative food (and drinks, why not?) stops in …

The Gran Premio de Baquets – an Argentine experience….
This one is for those of you who have seen and done it all – it is an exhausting rally that’s reminiscent of the very first crazy cross-continent races held between 4 or 5 countries back in the mid ’30s and ’40s when a devil-may-care attitude (and a Suixtil sponsorship) was the only thing carrying …

Whether it’s because they have known him for so long, thanks to the participation and support from Octane NL or because they all enjoy some masochistic traits somehow (to brave such a biting …
