Foreword

EVERY OFF-ROAD COMPETITIOR DREAMS OF DOING DAKAR ONE DAY.

We have all spent late nights in front of the television eagerly waiting for a glimpse of Alfie. I am no different, Dakar has always been on of my ambitions.

Dakar encompasses many of the ideals I hold high, commitment, dedication, consistency, and passion. Dakar remains one of the worlds greatest challenges, this combined with the adventure of racing through Africa are the necessary ingredients to create an experience of a lifetime.

I wish to thank friends and family who supported me, without you this would not be possible.

A very special word of appreciation to Sonja, who has sacrificed so much for so long, supporting me 100%, throughout my racing career. There is no better pit crew in the world!
