| Following our participation of Staples2Naples for 2009 we decided to take part in the rough-and-ready CzechWrecks. Rather than heading to Italy as a destination, CzechWrecks (CRX or 'see-wrecks' for short) heads to Europe's one and only 'City of 100 Spires', Prague. That's right. Eastern Europe here we come! On the way to Prague, CRX crosses the Swiss Alps over the Simplon Pass, climbing Passo Del Stelvio - probably the highest mountain pass in Europe and one that put half of our team in hospital when we visited it last year! |

The finish, of course, is the absolutely breathtaking Zlata Praha (that's Golden Prague for all you non-Czech speakers out there... okay, so we looked it up ourselves, but we're clever like that). The folk at Street Safari have wondered about making one of the events a one make series, but they've never actually done it. But they are going to encourage all teams to buy Skoda! And if everyone is driving a Skoda, there could be plenty of spares on the way. |
We visited eight countries: France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. On our return leg we visited the Nurbergring. As team captain Alex is actually the Stig. But keep that a secret. In previous years the rally organisers have had to accommodate floods, snow drifts, yodeling festivals, and even a hurricane! CzechWrecks, just like the Staples2Naples, is not for the faint hearted. |
