Transorientale 08: Gstaad team in 3rd position

After a difficult week, Sunday was hardly a day of rest for Transorientale racer Hansueli Brand: more than five hours repairing the Discovery following the car’s untimely rendezvous with yet another pothole. In fact, it had been Hansueli's co-pilot, Stanislas de Sadeleer, who drove a tad hard into an unmarked bend, slammed on the brakes... next, the pothole. The vehicle was catapulted into another enormous hole, and might still be there if Stan had not had the good sense to stay off the brakes and let the car continue careening out of the other side of the depression. Exciting stuff, and worth the risk it seems, for the team from Gstaad is now in third place in the Regularity category. Both men are determined: onward to Beijing!

Stanislas de Sadeleer and Hansueli Brand are racing in aid of charity, helping children in need. Don’t forget to make your donation to this worthwhile cause.
