Things started out well with Sat Nav telling us we would be at the Racetrack in within 3 1/2 hours. It lied! We were expecting an unpaved route (which is fine owing to our 4x4) and we certainley got one! :) After 1 3/4 hours along a painful, land rover style, off road track we came to a stunning cliff edge view, which would be fine, however, TomTom told us to keep driving off it, which in a Jeep, is highly not recommended. So we turned around and headed back, which was fine right up until the point, the hill we came down in the Jeep, the car would not get us back up again! Thus, we were stuck. After some enthusiastic use of the throttle, a lot of will power and shouting "COME ON!!!" we somehow made it up with the car still in one piece. (Which was handy as we were in the middle of nowhere, no mobile signal and no human life for at least 20-30 miles in temps of around 105F (40C). Should we have broken it, we did find a handy replacment car:
After informing TomTom of the slight roadblock we encountered and after recalculating the route 3-4 times, it eventually gave us the right one. Thus, 5 hours and 30mins later we arrived at the race track (our shortcut wasn't so short!)
