Car-crazy Justin Birchall is back in South America for the Dakar Rally nearlyayear after he was seriously hurt there in a crash.
Father-of-three Justin, 41, of Middop, Gisburn, is once again with Britain’s Race2 Recovery team of injured serv icemen, but this time he is part of the management team. Last year when he was
one of the drivers, his special Land-Rover .Wildcat broke down and he had to follow the rally with team members in a Land-Rover Discovery sup port vehicle. , On a desert road in Peru
the vehicle was in a collision with a local taxi, and two local people were killed. Justin suffered four broken
ribs and internal bleeding as the Discovery rolled over, but he left hospital in time to see the 5,000-mile rally finish in Santiago, Chile. All the while his wife Lou
ise and their daughters Ali cia, Courtney and Sigourney were anxiously following his exploits. “I couldn’t wait to help the
team take on this ultimate challenge,” said Justin, head of Hapton-based Birchall Food service and an experienced rally driver in his own right. “We learned a lot last year, and this time around we have set our sights even higher. “Not only do we hope to finish the race again, we also aim to provide some real competi tion to the teams without dis abilities”.
The rally started last week
end in Argentina and is travel ling through Bolivia and Chile, finishing on January 18th. Justin’s job with the race
management team is to help the Race2Recovery team’s four pairings, in two vehicles, to succeed in the gruelling event.,: Race2Recovery are the
only disabled rally team in the world and made history a year ago as not only the first disabled team to enter and complete the Dakar. The team is once again
raising money for the Help for Heroes charity’s support and recovery centre Tedworth House, Wiltshire. • For more information on
