With an astounding stroke of luck and a quick tap on the keyboard I got a last minute entry into this year's Dakar!
Fair enough it's only the virtual version (http://www.virtualrallygame.com/index.php) but it follows the exact route in, pretty much, real time (if required).
Sadly after a bit of help from a 3½ year old I'm way of course and something like 25992 overall..... Tomorrow I'll start my great fight back; oh and keep Mark from switching the computer off!
After a few days of attempting the Dakar I realised that whilst the game was free there were performance aides available for those willing to part with cash. I gave up at that point!!
