Team There and Back Again: We reach Fazo!
Top of the Volcano, Black Sands Lake
The team reached the top of the volcano without serious mishap. The engine was still strong and nothing else had broken, failed or been punctured.
Sector three was anticlimactic compared to sector two; Stephen just put the GPDV in a low gear and let the Bogliq drive itself down the hill!
Sector four wasn’t aimed at the Bogliq’s strengths so team TaBA were passed by a number of cars who were able to drive the course quicker and team TaBA passed a number of cars who shouldn’t have driven the course as quick as they did!
Sector five was very much in team TaBA’s favour. The rock strewn badlands are hard to navigate if you need to go around obstacles, but since the GPDV is built to go over obstacles as well, Stephen just made a beeline for the finish line!!!
The final results for stage One saw team TaBA plae tenth overall and sixth in the ameteur league. The old Bogliq wasn’t fast but things were looking less grim than they did on sector two…
Overall Position: Tenth overall, sixth highest ameteur
Thoughts so far: This race is less like an epic trek and more like an episode of wacky racers!!!
