The 2-day competition demands very technical driving and extreme winching, which left the Rookies feeling rather bewilderd at times, much to the amusement of the Polish crowd – which, with their plentiful advice and suggestions, looked as if they’ve been doing this since they were 6!

How steep can you winch?

Our adventure demanded a crushing schedule:
- Friday – 1300 km’s in one day with trailers loaded with competition cars (max. 90 km/h)
- Saturday – Day 1 of the trial (start 7 am and drive till you can’t no more…)
- Sunday – Day 2 of the trial (start 7 am and try to make the finish…)
- Monday – head back to Holland: 1300 km’s
Come to think of it – are we mad?
