The Dakar PP Event returns!
EHM-1465 Dominic:
After a long break, the Dakar Rally ProPilot Event returns to EHM! This summer we will follow the route of the 2014 Dakar Rally around Argentina, Bolivia and Chile - we are flying the route six months ahead of the rally racers so that pilots will have to cope with the winter weather in the southern hemisphere! That way, we're more on a par with the challenges faced by drivers and motorbike riders in the real world Rally ;)
To join in, just click on the banner of the front page here and sign up on the Event page. An Event B1900D aircraft will be automatically created for you so all you'll need to do is get yourself to Rosario (SAAR) in time for the first leg which opens on 5th July.
Good luck to all :)

EHM-1465 Dominic:
Thanks David, we've already got 9 pilots signed up in the first 12 hours so there's a good chance of some group flights ;)
EHM-1465 Dominic:
To whet your appetites for the Dakar Event, here's an interesting LINK which explains some of the history of the real world rally with some great videos and photos too.
Obviously we want to avoid having as many crashes as you can see in the videos ;D
EHM-1465 Dominic:
If you would like to fly all the way to the Event's start from our nearest Hub in a B1900D (to practice your technique ahead of the main event!) there is now a Class 1 route available for you to fly (in ProPilot or normal flight) travelling via Kingston, Jamaica; Quito, Ecuador; La Paz, Bolivia; then arriving in Rosario , Argentina:-
A line of shiny new Beechcraft planes is waiting on the ramp at Atlanta for those brave enough to take on this extra challenge ahead of the Rally ;)
