I did add an extra link to filter on the class. Associated drivers come from the official site, so don't blame me on glitches Just let me know (when you're sure of course) and I can change the drivers class.

I can add some "user defined" classes too, so lets finish Fodder's lists and add them.

I'm sure you will find the filter and the website.

See ya and good night (2:15 here already).

Mischa

PS: ADVriders can be selected now too

Very cool I like the selection. I'll see if I can flesh out the Malle Moto list tonight. Go to bed Mischa!

First year in f5land and is it just me or is anyone else going into Dakar overload/meltdown
After 3 hours sleep I was back in here this morning to catch up and now I'm about stuffed.
Got to get some more sleep or I won't make the rest day

First year here too... It's certainly a lot to parse!!

Paul's blog entry about making the race is a great read. Shame it all came undone for him so early.

South America....for the first time I'm stoked the rally is there

This first week has really blown me away this year. There are aspects of Africa that I still miss, of course, but I think they've finally settled into a quantity of worthy terrain.

Indeed!

Well things came to a screeching halt in here!! Everyone must be preparing road books for tomorrows start of the marathon stage...which really is not a true marathon...ok, so you have to sleep in the dirt somewhere I see after the ASS they have a short transit to there special bivvy..wonder if the assistance route follows that same track? If so I guess we will see more side of the road servicing tomorrow...

I was going to leave this be, but Brodo took it and ran.
