Thread: Land Rover Defender izziv apelira na fotelj pustolovci

Bowler Motorsport je ustvaril Defender, primerni za fotografiranje v najtežjih zbirališče izzivi v novem dogovorili serije. Ob moral iti, bomo lahko videli pritožbe. Sem preživel veliko soboto zvečer, kozarec v roki, razmišlja, kateri klub racing Id potopite v če Loto številke, ki je prišel gor.
Ive nikoli šteje, zbirališče, čeprav, kaj šele rally raiding. Sem rally avtomobile, ki vozijo na ohlapno površine nekajkrat, vendar še zdaleč ne tako dobro, kot Id imeti rad. Id potrebujejo nekoga, da me sprejme, skupaj nekaj časa, da gredo dol, da se poti.
Kot se izkaže, Polucilindar Motorsport domišljavec vzoren ljudi. Spoznal sem Drew Polucilindar in nekaj članov ekipe prejšnji teden pred vožnjo novega Land Rover Branilec Izziv rally raid avto. Lepše, bolj down-to-earth, podobno mislečimi skupino ljudi, ki preprosto nikoli ne boste naleteli – ob predpostavki, da vam je všeč, ki so zlorabili o v hitrih avtomobilov, seveda, in ne um dobili pravilno zaljubljen v.
Branilec Izziv prišlo, Drew pravi, kot neposredna posledica posamezno stranko. To je bil fant, whod samo naredil čezatlantski dirko čoln, in čigav naslednji srbi je bilo, da so razpoko na Dakar rally raid. Imel usposabljanja ali izkušenj, zbirališče na vse, vendar je imel sredstev in obveznosti. On je želel avto, nekaj podpore, in pameten program, da se mu pripravljen.
Hes tipične vrste stranke, čigav pridejo naprej, saj pravi Drew. Ti fantje sploh ne 21-letni adrenalin junkies. Jih imajo v lasti svojih podjetij, theyve znano, malo zabave in razburjenje v življenju, in oni, da se prijavite čim več za avanturo in socialne stran, kaj so počeli kot nič.
Da description – plus vožnjo v avtomobilu, ki bi lahko imeli neskončne zabave na kolesu – precej takoj me je prepričalo, pritožbe iz te serije. In ko gre za Dakar, Torilo dobil še eno zgodbo, da brusiti apetita.
Nekaj časa nazaj, a Bowler na Dakar radioed v puščavi. Zanimivo je, da svoje prve besede niso Ive porušili. Je preprosto pojasnil, da lahkega zrakoplova, ki bi prihod na ekipe storitev lokaciji v eni uri. Drew je bil zagotoviti, da se inženir, diferenčni in voziček, jack je bilo opravljenih na krovu, da letalo. In ne da bi vedel, kdo je pilot je bil, kjer je letalo, ki je prišel iz, kako bi našli avto v vprašanje, ali kadar bi zemlje, ko je to storila, Drew je naredil, kar je bil povedal.
Ko je njegov inženir vrnil nekaj ur pozneje, je pojasnil, da hed bil naprošen, da prevzame nadzor nad letalom, potem ko pilot je najti naš junak, in za letenje nizko nad avto tri ali štirikrat. Na zadnji prelaz, pilot preprosto vrgel zamenjava za razlikovanje in jack iz letala. Nekaj časa kasneje, tekmovalec, ki je prišel na ta točka s fiksno avto, chalking up nič bolj resno kot nekaj kazenskih točk za zamud.
To ni pravno, ampak se je zgodilo, dovolj dolgo nazaj, da svoje prav, da vam povem, se je zasmejal Bowler.
Se sprašujete, kako veliko več zgodb, kot da bi prišel ven okoli ogradi campfire na rally raid. Bolj kot vse, ki želite biti del enega. Bowlers Land Rover Defender Izziv, ki vam omogoča enostaven način. Kaj se zgodi po tem, mislim, je odvisno od vas.

Bowler Motorsport has created a Defender fit for taking on the toughest rallying challenges in a new bespoke series. Having had a go, we can see the appeal. Ive spent many a Saturday evening, glass-in-hand, considering which kind of club racing Id dive into if the Lotto numbers came up.
Ive never considered rallying, though, let alone rally raiding. I've driven rally cars on loose surfaces a few times, but not nearly as well as Id have liked to. Id need someone to take me along a bit to go down that route.
As it turns out, Bowler Motorsport would be the perfect people. I met Drew Bowler and a few members of his team last week, before driving the new Land Rover Defender Challenge rally raid car. A nicer, more down-to-earth, like-minded group of people youll simply never encounter – assuming you like messing about in fast cars, of course, and dont mind getting properly stuck in.
The Defender Challenge came about, Drew says, as a direct result of one particular customer. This was a guy whod just done a transatlantic boat race, and whos next itch was to have a crack at the Dakar rally raid. He had no training or experience of rallying at all, but had the means and the commitment. He wanted a car, some support, and a sensible programme to get him ready.
Hes typical of the type of customer whos come forward since, says Drew. These guys arent 21-year-old adrenaline junkies. They own their own businesses, theyve known a bit of fun and excitement in life, and theyre signing up as much for the adventure and the social side of what were doing as anything.
That description – plus a drive in a car that you could have endless entertainment at the wheel of – pretty much instantly convinced me of the appeal of this series. And when it comes to the Dakar, Bowlers got another story to whet the appetite.
Some time ago, a Bowler at the Dakar radioed in from the desert. Oddly, his first words were not Ive broken down. He simply explained that a light aircraft would be arriving at the teams service location within the hour. Drew was to ensure that an engineer, a differential and a trolley jack were dispatched to board that plane. And without knowing who the pilot was, where the plane had come from, how it would find the car in question or where it would land when it did, Drew did what he was told.
When his engineer returned several hours later, he explained that hed been asked to take the controls of the plane after the pilot had found our hero, and to fly low over the car three or four times. On the last pass, the pilot simply threw the replacement diff and the jack out of the plane. A while later, the competitor arrived at this checkpoint with a fixed car, chalking up nothing more serious than a few penalty points for lateness.
It wasnt legal, but happened long enough ago that its okay to tell you, laughed Bowler.
You wonder how many more stories like that one might come out around a paddock campfire on a rally raid. More than anything, you want to be part of one. Bowlers Land Rover Defender Challenge gives you an easy way in. What happens after that, I suppose, is up to you.
