actually, saladin didnt go off the road, his center diff broke after about 8km. i pity the guy, cos he wud have given toshi a good run for his money. but the amount of dnf's was because the rally was really tough. there was no room for error.. if u made a small mistake u wud b in a ditch.. 5 cars were out after just the 1st stage.. i made it to the 6th stage but made a mistake and parked my car in a ditch.. more than 50% of the cars didnt make it to the finish..

i heard about the rally from ivan ng, too bad for you guys, as well as adrian who ended up in a ditch as well. somehow, i'm just glad i wasnt there, coz i can envision some broken drive shafts and me pushing the car through the mud again ;)

cheers.

when you DNF in SS1 (8km only) itself it boils down to the preparation of the car! heard that Saladin started the rally with just rear diffs. that means the car was running a rear wheel drive. my agruement is, why bother racing with a car which is sick? pride, ego or stupidity?

surely, he wouldn't have given arai a run for him money by bringing a car which is sick!
