Things aroud town are going to get busy this weekend.
My little town is hosting a "desert Enduro " car rally/Race.
The towns population [ about 650 ] is expected to swell to over two or three times the size for the weekend.
This will be a bit different for around here.

They sure do have that Mad Max touch to them or Vice versa.
Apparently 60% of competitors didn't finish due to break downs and damage. There was a tree on one bend that kept getting run/slid into. One competitor wiped the car out badly on it.
As you can see it was pretty muddy. Just that took it's toll and contibuted to many wipe outs.
I saw cars leaving on the Saturday during the time trials. More left during the race on Sunday.
I took a few snaps of cars sitting on their trailers , retired before the end of the race.

I don't think this sport will be played in Germany.
It's a federal offense to damage a tree.
Because I said so.
