King of Hammers Ultra4 race this week. Possibly the toughest single day off road race on the planet. There's a few guys from the UK competing this year. I highly recommend checking it out, they live stream all the different classes on youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/Ultra4Racing/videos

No worries dude, I figured that a few on here may be interested if the knew it was on.
For those that don't know what Ultra4 and King of Hammers is, it's a hybrid between technical rock crawling and desert racing in some of the toughest terrain on earth. These guys are racing over rocks that are often bigger than their trucks and through desert sections that can see speeds in excess of 130mph. The course is 165miles and must be completed in under 14hrs. There's no chase teams so repairs (breakages are a certainty) must be carried either in the pit areas (few and far between) or on track by the driver/co-driver with no external help and with only the tools and parts they have on the truck.
