They're Off ! La Carrera Panamericana starts with a bang - Quite a few bangs.
|
In this years La Carrera PanAmerica race, in Mexico, QuickSilver's very own Social Marketeer/Racing Driver, Sarah Bennett-Baggs, has started the race in the QuickSilver sponsored Porsche 914.

The pre-event Driver's Briefing (in both Spanish then English) was closed by reminding everyone that 50 % of all Carrera Panamericana accidents happen in the first day and usually the first 3 speed sections.
Sure enough, the first few sections were fast, twisty, technical roads with lots of crashes. Sarah reports, 'We saw Porsches backed into cliffs, a car up side down in the ditch, several bad accidents - This apparently is normal. |

Despite no first gear the Porsche 914 is coping well, we developed a knocking noise early on, I tightened all the wheel nuts just to make sure it wasn't a wheel falling off - and we carried on! Thankfully, we made it to the service stop, the boys changed a wheel hub spacer which had stripped all its thread and on we went. |

'The mountain stages are amazing, we saw donkey's, cows, pot holes, and 'tope' damn those 'Tope'! > Mexican blind brows, invisible to the naked eye. In the Porsche 914 they are like mountains! We have missed a couple and paid the price in take-off and landing!' For an up to date and detailed account of whats going on day by day in the race, read Sarah's very own BLOG:
