we have to draw a first conclusion:
Almost everything we had planned, we have done. Only the special stages to the lost lake and back from there we had to leave out a heavy heart, because Pajero No.1 announced a clutch failure. But a new clutch was available only in Sfax. We have installed this last night. Now, arrived in Hammamet, all our experiences of the last 12 days appear to us in the light of yesterday’s terrorist attack in Tunis completely unimportant.

The safety of our participants has the uppermost priority.
Tunisia is currently on its way to democracy and internal security. Nevertheless, we do not underestimate potential hazards that could arise from the clash of a Western rally and traditional Arabic living habits. From the arrival of the ferry to departure we are accompanied by a high-ranking military personnel. Between Douz and El Borma several military vehicles and occasional inserts of helicopters give an extra security feeling. But in all these years was no reason for use.
Also the medical coverage is very important to us. At least two all-terrain ambulances, staffed by emergency doctors and paramedics, follow the participants. In addition, a rescue quad is on his way inside the rally-field, which can reach a possible accident site for initial treatment even faster.
Equally important are the used two salvage trucks. In each section of the special stages the “sweeper trucks” form the conclusion of the field. They load damaged vehicles and their crews. No one will be left behind!
Basis of the safety concept is our for 5 years well-proven satellite-based tracking system. The position of each vehicle is displayed on the screen in real time. By pressing a button each participant is able to send any technical or medical emergency calls. The coordinates are then transmitted digitally to the race director and, if needed, to the rescue or recovery vehicles.
So equipped we offer a safety standard, which is not self-evident at amateur events.
