Leg 12. http://i.gyazo.com/d954912497913df545e684dc33625b4a.png End: Hotel La Carreta, CA2, Guatemala Country number 4, Guatemala! I had hoped to blitz past it in one day, but the hotel seems nice enough to stop in. Hopefully I shall be through El Salvador swiftly with renewed vigor.

The trials of the race are wearing on as Mexico is proving more sapping than many anticipated. V8fan has officially pulled out of the running, fearing he won't make it to Colon in time, whilst a couple of competitors have yet to log their 11th legs. Regardless. Leg 12 is now open. Even with the fiel...

Quinto del Lago to Juchitán de Zaragoza.

The journey is long, the journey is hard, no ragrets.

Jimenez - Quinta de lago.

It has become clear that my route through Mexico isn't as good as I had hoped. Regardless, we are now on the outskirts of Mexico City and can't be too many hours behind the leaders.

Coast to Coast. m Teams are flying down Mexico as we go into the double figure leg numbers. From no teams in Mexico at the end of leg 8 to all teams (some only just!) in Mexico by the end of leg 9. Those on the Gulf of Mexico side of things look in great shape. But as we make our way south, the numb...

Sebby Vettel. So many mistakes from him, eventually leading to a broken wing and then failing to pass Bottas. Toro Rosso: Shockingly bad pace from them both a botched pitstop and poor reliability knock them out. Pathetic all round really. (Honourable mention, Button's car being evil ALL weekend, but...

The next town is well over an hou...

There is no way a 150 day challenge like this can work. I don't mean to disrespect, but this is far too long a time to keep people occupied consistently and I love an open challenge, but with no obvious people to race against it is hard to find the competitive element to it. My suggestion for a roun...

m All teams are now closing in on the Mexico border from a wide variety of angles, in fact, Leg 8 marks the first leg in which no 2 teams share a hotel. Everyone has spread out. It appears the West Coasters are in a little bit of trouble, Peteroli deciding to cut his losses and head inland whilst V8...

http://i.gyazo.com/82f825c05cfe936e3e2eac345d1dea02.png The initial plan had been to go through Arizona, however that would put us at the perils of Phoenix and Tucson. Instead, a quick check of the map means we found a route to the border via New Mexico. Very soon we will be crossing out of the Uni...

m Leg 7 saw another major split in the race, with teams having to decided to head either for Salt Lake City Utah, or Denver Colorado. Both with their own advantages and disadvantages. 6 Teams decided to go the Easterly route through Colorado, 5 decided to go down Utah and around Salt Lake whilst the...

I can't offer more than the map today, really.

Teams are back in the US or very nearly back in the US. With Samster joing the race late adding a growing list.

Leg 7 is now open. I apologise for being brief tonight.

Leg 5: We gain a new competitor, Biscione, who arrived late to the party in Deadhorse, undeterred the Voekler team charged through the legs quadruple shifting to catch up with the field and amazing the poor de Bock Belgian squad who see their "lead" vanish. It seems all teams are heading i...

An agonising number. Fortunatly, we didn't have to stop in Grand Praire, t...

Leg 4 Summary. The first leg where we see major differences! The leg gave everyone the choice of heading straight south towards the Pacific coast, or to continue Easterly. 2 teams decided to go the southerly route, V8fan and Peteroli, both of whom stopping at Tatogga Lake. The remaining runners went...

I had to check this one a few times, but appears this lodge works as both a hunters lodge and a B'N'B. This puts us slightly ahead of the pack stopping at Toad Lodge. Will it amount to anything? Probably not. In other news, the views in this part of the world are absolutely breath taking.

Shadaza

Wow, great move from tommykl there taking a small but obvious lead. Sorry I won't post much of a summary today. Most teams are in or around Whitehorse, Leg 4 is open and I predict that we might see a few variations in route. Good luck and safe travels everyone. Let me know if you wish to have access...

Another question, is the 'rest day today, drive 20 hours tomorrow' rule still allowed? And if, how many times is it allowed to be used? On a different note, i worked out a draught of both the Amazon route and the Andes route, and the difference was about 5 hours. Details will really make a differen...

Route 2 Summary. Everyone still running went storming south to the first real area of civilisation, Fairbanks. One team decided to play it safe and end there but the rest noted the amount of time left to run and decided to push Eastwards and towards the Canada border where everyone began to play chi...

Shadaza

@Shadaza, i figured you need to cross the Strait of Magellanes and the map does not allow us to take the ferry. We need to take a ferry from Punta Delgada to Bahía Azul or Punta Arenas to Porvenir. So i suggest you decide on the time we have to add to our travel time to take that ferry. Good Point....

Shadaza

Leaving Coldfoot as soon as possible the aim for this leg was to simply make it to Fairbanks, but the way was clear and I found myself with plenty of time to spare, looking to get the jump, I decided to make for the Canadian border early and aim to stop somewhere along the route. But the population...

14 Teams arrived at Deadhorse Airport to begin the epic journey across the Americas. The first leg is a simple one, drive south down the road until you make accommodation. For most this meant simply heading down south and cramming into the Coldfoot hotel. After 8 hours, 11 of the 14 teams did exactl...

It's -8oc, it's sunny even though it's 4 in the morning, let's rock. The "warm" reception everyone received at the start has left teams with no doubt about the immense challenge ahead. But the route for Leg 1 seems to be a fairly trivial one, one we can dip our toes in. Normally Cold Feet...

It's back (for real!). The ultimate game of armchair world travel. The game is simple, teams using only cars and navigation available via google maps, must find the fastest possible route from point A to point B. In this case, our start location is the wonderfully optimistically named, Deadhorse Air...

On that list I miss people like Can Artam, Ferdinando Monfardini, Kohei Hirate or even Tristan Gommendy I only added the drivers that scored at a rate of more than 1 point per race. Artam only scored 2 in 1 whole season. Monfardini only scored 11 points in 2 years (40 races!), Hirate scored 9 point...

A while ago I posted the points per race rankings of the best GP2 drivers and tried to objectively rank the rookies, well that was half way through the season and as we draw close to the start of 2015 GP2 season, I have updated the list so it is now up to date. I present, the GP2 all time super grid...

Well done for all your hard work. Half of me wishes you could "forget" most of my posts but it's good to be back.

Entries will close on Thursday, I hope to get things running on Friday/Saturday. Thanks for your patience.

So far so good, 3 teams completed on the database so far.

If possible, could you please select a team of 8 riders for the tour, It is taking me so long to port riders over that I would much rather do it as I need too.

It's back, following the collapse of the 2015 season, in which the entire operation was closed for drug smuggling, the famed cycling series is back in action. We begin with a one off special in the Kingdom of Oman. There are 6 stages, 4 sprints (of various difficulties) 1 hill stage and 1 mountain s...

Okay, I am going to run a 2nd edition of the Dakar sweepstakes (still no prize!). Simply use a random number generator to find an entry in all 4 classes (bike, quad, car and truck) and make a note to follow the progress of your entry. It makes following the event more entertaining. The entry list ca...
