This world is just bad for 1:10 buggy.
With big names not showing up its just bad PR for
the class. It gives ā fealing that 1:10 is not that important

no good

Im surprised its still going ahead bearing in mind how few entries there are

jimmy 25-08-2009 09:53 AM

Do they usually publish a drivers list by now?

Belsten 25-08-2009 09:54 AM

It would certainly be interesting reading if there is one

Among other relatives, my Aunt and Uncle have lived in SA for over 40 years, and I think its more a case of altering your attitude to keep youself safe. Its a very beautiful country, but like anywhere it has its problems.
If you go there and continue to walk around in the same way as at home, you are more likely to become a target. Things such as if someone steps out in the road in front of your car here, you step on the brakes, over there I am advised you should step on the accelerator:wtf:
I guess anyone making the trip and taking sensible precautions will be just fine;)

That has got to change soon, hopefully

jimmy 25-08-2009 10:27 AM

Naoto MatSukura is a warrior as well, and Jorn is a past Euro Champ.

Alfonzo 25-08-2009 10:33 AM

Disagree fella, Cyrille Baldini finished 18th 2wd and 21st 4wd, Jörn Neumann 7th 2wd and 9th 4wd at the recent euro's ;)

Looks like yokomo will have a title this year =)
i put my money on a B4 and a B-Max to win the worlds

jimmy 25-08-2009 10:48 AM

Looks that way - the way I look at it is if you don't go, you can't complain.

I feared this would be some sort of club meeting - but I'd travel half way round the world to attend a club meeting with the level of drivers here :thumbsup:

Lee 25-08-2009 10:59 AM

It probably wont alter much either, people value their lives, i have been a few times and its a beautiful place but it is dangerous, its not great if you feel you cant behave as you do at home. I don't like going to countries where i fear for my life constantly, it sort of detracts from the scenery :lol:

My money is on Jarb Ratananrat to make the top 30, he is a god amongst the rats, he is so good they named him twice!!

jimmy 25-08-2009 11:02 AM

Lee who regularly flies to Afghanistan and gets escorted home in a bag by Mi5 agents.

Alfonzo 25-08-2009 11:09 AM

Fear for your life constantly? Jeezzz, where abouts in SA were you hanging out? Differrent bit to me, that's for sure :lol:
