Team Saluki

Based in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, the Castrol EDGE supported Team Saluki is named after the legendary Arabian hunting dog which is bred for speed and endurance in the desert - very apt considering that the Team competes in desert racing events in the Middle East. www.teamsaluki.com

Team Saluki Team Saluki : 4th November - Round up.
posted by Team Saluki, 05-Nov-08
UAE Desert Challenge Round Up Sitting down for lunch on the Saturday after the final day with a very subdued Bowler team, Drew Bowler asked if it was always like this – the feeling of ‘flatness’. We had all just spent a hectic 5 days in the desert (not to mention the weeks of build up) and we were all left with what felt like a gaping chasm in our lives. The fact that the buggy was out in the first day compounded the feeling for Team Saluki and all the members were...


Team Saluki October 31st - Back to civilisation.

Update on the truck / car recovery that the Team Saluki guys have been assisting on.   Both vehicles are now out of the desert successfully - it seems that having the correct jack that's required to change the wheel on your truck helps a lot when you're stuck.     We've seen the truck on the road near the bivouac so we know the guys are not telling fibs. The camera crews that have been following Team Saluki have been completing some in-desert editing of the...


Team Saluki Team Saluki : October 30th - If at first you don't succeed.

Following on from yesterdays communication it seems that Paul doesn't have a jinx after all.  There were no blown engines when the Saluki guys returned to camp in the dark last night.     There was at least progress on the recovery, however not all news is good news.   They found the truck easy enough and with the use of sand ladders, had the truck out and moving in 10 minutes.     Going cross country to locate the stuck car (remember -...


Team Saluki October 27th - It's Deja Vu all over again.
posted by Team Saluki, 27-Oct-08
Well the "Oh my god" early morning was not as bad as expected with everyone up and about by 5am and on the road by 5:15.   Last minute additions as always made it into the cars - some reheated coffee and a pile of scooby-snacks were considered essential to the upkeep of the teams enthusiasm. A shortish drive to Abu Dhabi to the Emirates Palace Hotel where the ceremonial start was to take place.   Leaving the start line almost last meant that the guys had...


Team Saluki October 26th - Back in Black
posted by Team Saluki, 26-Oct-08
It's the day of the prologue which this year instead of some scrub land is taking place on the Jebel Ali Moto-Cross track. Tight twisty turns and lots of bumps meant an interesting course - especially for something like the Saluki and it's slightly wider wheel base.   Lots of people were having problems with a particular corner in-between a couple of the jumps and the Saluki was no exception.  Finding themselves running wide, the guys opted to run over the mound that was...
