Winners of the day

Car - Lowndes/Weel

Motorcycle - Grabham

Quad - Lawson

 

The 2010 Australasian Safari Rally is getting closer to the end, only one more leg and the finishing line will be passed by the winners in each of the categories. Todays stretch was 325 km and quite different from previous days. Faster and more varied, with a little bit of everything, sand, dunes, water, salt lakes and more. 

Biker Ben Grabham will take his third win in the Australasian Safari Rally if he manages to keep the distance to those behind. Only thing to keep him from finishing first would be a technical error. 18 minutes to spare to the lads and ladies behind.

Dakar rally princess Annie Seel has been working that rally machine of hers really well. Reaching a 15th position in the overall, and it looks as if she will be reaching her goal by tomorrow, beating last years 16th placing. I´ll definetely keep my fingers crossed!
