Blogjack Round 2: Budapest to Bamako
Johnny Glynn, motoring journalist extraordinaire here with round 2 of the WEVO Blogjack! I’ve got the reins of the wonderful WEVO blog while Hayden sits next to our newest amigo, Alastair Caldwell, for the 2011 Budapest to Bamako rally.
It’s 10.07 AM here in the UK and I’ve just received a text from Hayden, on the road in Europe.
“Car 39 enjoying fantastic weather (not!) as we scoot across Belgium, Germany and Austria, and converge on Parc Ferme along with our fellow Budapest to Bamako competitors. ETA morning of the 13th”.
I’ll try to keep you up to date with the boys’ progress as the rally unfolds, but they are likely to have an hilarious trip. Alastair and Hayden are a good match in what makes them laugh and there’s potential for a solid technical and strategic team approach in the cockpit also: they are both ultra-competitive, but appreciate the benefits of a cunning long-term game. So the rally should be a lot of fun.
We’ll see what happens next!
