There is a mounting air of trepidation as we await todays border crossing into Mongolia and the harsh conditions we are told to expect. So far the Aston is running as it should and the whole driving experience is wonderful. If we want to compete to win we will need to drive aggressively in atrocious conditions for the next five days. Maybe this is the time to save the car and hope to make the time up when conditions favour an Aston Martin more.
So far there are 6 seriously disabled cars with many different ailments. 2 or 3 bottom ends gone due to overheating and thinning oils. A Lagonda with a seized rear piston and a Bentley with a seized clutch bearing. The on event back up mechanics are fantastic and they were working well into the morning getting cars sorted for grateful crews. We are expecting a long wait at the border today maybe time to get really familiar with the GPS as we have mainly been using Tulip books until now. More soon
