a very worthwhile cause, and carrentals is delighted to be involved in
sponsorship of the event.  Driving so far in these three-wheel vehicles will
be a big challenge for all the teams taking part, but we are confident they
will all perform to their best ability with the equipment they have at hand.

“The route is quite tough, but as with many driving trips the teams are
going to pass through some amazing areas and the atmosphere and camaraderie
on the rally is second to none.  Everyone at carrentals wishes them the best
