After heavy rain already challenging course became more difficult. Finish 75 km for somehas become just a dream. Hungarian Csaba Boros and Russian Alexey Golubevremained in the battle for first place.

Not so lucky was Jamses Madsen, winner of last year. Again, failure of the vehicle.

Although in the first kilometers of trails he surpassed nearly two dozen vehicles, he had to cancel due to failure. Official results will not be before the morning because a large part of the contestants still on track.

Stage 6

Damir Pildek — Thu, 03 May 2012 04:38:00 +0000

It was a long and hard day. A lot of crossing over water and a lot of swamps. This has resulted in a large number of cancellations and failures in the vehicles. Among them isJames Marsden. One of the candidates for the first 3 places.
Results are cumulative after the fifth stage.

Stage 5 – circle

Damir Pildek — Wed, 02 May 2012 04:47:13 +0000

Circle. Not exactly. Climb, winching , open riding, mud, deep mud and slopes. All but a light circle riding.
It was long and finished in darkness. For some of them before.

Trophy Day

1 Stage – Reality

Damir Pildek — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 21:17:42 +0000

Tonight it will be no ranking lists because it is still a lot off vehicles in the wood. Today was the first one, real stage with CT taste. We have a lot of unfinished tracks because of car technical problems. Good news for CT is that on the first positions are very good drivers with minimal distances what guaranty interesting race.

Some of competitor are preparing for tomorrow Trophy Day and night stage and in the same time others waiting for friend lost in the forests.

FIRST START

Damir Pildek — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 04:15:54 +0000

First drive

First start this year. First adrenalin flush. First rollovers. 94 teams start this event. Weather is perfect- dry sky and lot of water in the ground. This year we have first female team in adventure and we all wish them luck and good drive as we wish to all other competitors.

With stage one – the games begin !

On the road again

Damir Pildek — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 04:41:28 +0000

After 355 days we are together again. Reunion of old friends and meeting new ones. I do not see any difference compared to previous years when there were fewer teams. The camp is still full and cars more and more look like Star Wars machines . I would not be surprised that one day codriver will step out of the car with light sword as a tool for bush cleaning. Teams just need to solve the problem of entry of LONG VEHICLE in the camp, without having harnesses them in a dozen beasts to move them.

Apologies for the short texts. Unfortunately there is no more of our Carl who wrote so enthusiastically about every day.

***

Nakon 355 dana ponovo na okupu. Ponovni susret starih prijatelja i upoznavanje novih. Ne vide se nikakve razlike u odnosu na prijašnje godine kada je bilo manje ekipa. Kamp se puni i dalje, a vozila su sve bliža Zvjezdanim Stazama. Ne bih se ?udio da jednog dana suvoza? izlazi iz auta sa isukanim svjetlosnim ma?em da prokr?i put ispred vozila. Još samo trebamo riješiti problem ulaska velikih LONG VEHICLE-a u kamp, bez da ih uprežemo u desetak terenaca kako bi ih pomakli.

Isprika za kra?e tekstove. Na žalost više nema našeg Karla koji je tako zdušno pisao o svakom danu.

Timetable and roadbook for Croatia Trophy 2012 camp.

Damir Pildek — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 16:29:11 +0000

“How to find Croatia Trophy Base Camp:

Use road book which starts after paying toll on exit Karlovac,on highway Zagreb-Split(Rijeka).

If you want to use GPS, make it to lead you to Topusko and than use road book from page 2 picture 2(turning from road No 6 to Topusko.) Or find Hotel in the middle of Topusko and use road book from page2 picture 4.”
