i've flown out from Germany to support my buddy in the rally , quad number 74 , Seb Husseini with Team Suzuki.

been asked by a lot of family and friends the same question ,so here you go:

Tomorrow ( Sunday 28th ) at 16:00 hours opposite the Police College off interchange 4 is the prologue.
GOOD photo opp.
N25 07.900 E55 11.700

Monday - stage 1 is a good day to watch , because start and stop are near the Hameen truck road. At 2 points is the rally course going underneath the road.
one point is the underpass 22km south of the Rainbow Sheikh's Pyramid

expected arrival of first competitors 13:45.

Liaison back to Bivouac , which is Moreeb Hill N22 58.550 E53 47.275


Another good day to watch in my PERSONAL opinion is Thursday.
Start 6 kms North of Biv on tarmac road - 6:15a.m.
waypoint :N23 10.610 E54 20.060

Viewpoint : 5 kms East of Hameem Adnoc on the gatch road. STAY OFF GATCH ROAD! its part of the course!

PC2 , also service , so bit of action : N23 10.610 E54 20.060 ( East of Hameem Road) expected 8:10 a.m.


Sleep over and join the rally heading back to Dubai , Nahel Town in Sweihan will be visited at around 11:30 a.m. N24 31.645 E55 33.145
im expecting an ad4x4 trip there! :mrgreen:
Finish is at 12:10ish at N24 51.075 E55 20.715 near bab al shams.

Hope to see you Kriss in liwa

The rally this year having new system for the safty of the rally cars and bikes drivers, where the operations room will have a big screen with the particibants icons, if the particibant stops for more than 3 minutes the icon colour will change from green to red (showing the coordinates), Operations will contact them through the radio, if no response they will send help and ampulance in case of accidents and update the team marchals.

Also, there is new alarm system which will beep in both the cars and the bikes if they gets in a diameter of 200 meters so they drive carefully and to avoid cars getting over bikes.

There is LIVE tracking for the positions and results on http://tracking.iritrack.com/ppos/dubai/ and now updated with STAGE 0

Just an update.

we officially kicked butt.

Winner M4 category with over a 2 hour lead over our nearest competitor.

Overall 10th in the moto category , which is a crazy achievment for a quad , considering how much faster the bikes are.

And last but not least , with 25 points , our rider , #74 Seb Husseini picked up his very first FIM World Champion title at just 22 years of age.

It couldnt have been possible without the support of Auto Sport L.L.C , suzuki division of al Yousuf motors & the mechanical support of ProBikes workshop.
We really worked hard.Myself and our mechanic got an average of 2 hours of sleep a day.
