Rally School is back
The rally school is back. After the success of the last school and the impressive results of its graduates in both the local rallies and the Pharaohs rally, we are very much excited about its potential and continuation.
It will be held in the Automobile club for theoretical sessions and in our vast deserts for the practical sessions. A first aid course is included as usual plus a general overview of all aspects of rally racing. The details will be emailed next Sunday and the sessions will start on the 15th of November. School applications will also be available online and at the automobile club starting next week. Pls spread the word for those you know who expressed interest.

Rally School and Egyptian Rally Cup
Well the Pharaons 2008 have come and gone. 7 Egyptian teams raced in a record participation and impressive results were achieved. For the first time, we had first overall in diesel category and 9th overall by Zanaty, tenth overall by Sirgany and 12th overall by Azzam. The preparation for the next Pharaons should start immediately to improve on these numbers and results.
Keeping with this direction several projects are put in motion:
1- First and foremost, The Egyptian Federation for Motor Sports was founded last July thanks to the efforts of many-a-passionate individual. It was high time that Egypt had a federation to support and look after our sport. All those interested to register in the federation as rally drivers or autocross drivers, pls send me an email with your contacts and experience. All are welcome. This is a recommended first step to start building our database of "players" that practice motor sports in Egypt.
2- The federation is contacting all the other Arab motor sports federations to get their race calendars and their support to start sending Egyptian teams to represent Egypt abroad in all categories (speed challenges, hill climbs, bajas, dirt rallies and of course cross country rallies)
3- The rally school is back and is organized this time by the federation. Some details will be adjusted and improved after our first experience early this year including a first aid course in conjunction with the school. Same as last year, we will be meeting more or less once a week for theoretical sessions and going out to the desert in weekends for practical sessions. The whole process is to last 3 months. The orientation meeting will be held in the Automobile club on the 22nd of November. A facebook group is created for the school. If interested, pls join the group to follow times and schedules.
4- Last but not least, the federation will organize the first ever Egyptian Rally Cup. This will be a 2 day rally in baja format scheduled to be held on the 21 and 22 of February. Some of the features are short stages yet technically satisfying, a modified car category and a standard car category, doctor cars on track,... we are even investigating satellite tracking online. The race will also feature a prologue. Pls start preparing your cars and contact me if you need to inquire about minimum safety regulations. Again, all are welcome including foreign residents. As we go along, all the details will be posted online on the following group where you can register starting now.
