Check out the Desert Rose Racing website, and their Desert Rose Academy site too.

Off road rider training, road book and navigation training and also Rally Raid support.

I've just come back from the Serres Rally in Greece and had full support with them.
Patsy and Zippy certainly know how to get you to and through a rally!
