Harry Walker and the Par Homes Zip Racing Quadcross team ventured out last Friday for a long 750 mile drive for round 4 of the very well attended ‘French sand championships’ CFS with 180 plus Quad riders at Hossegor seaside resort on the south west coast of France almost in view of the Spanish border.

With not a terrific start position coming round the first lap in a lowly 110th place, there was a serious amount of work to get done to even get in sight of the front runners who were all now well gone.
Lap by lap Harry was gathering up some 20 + places per lap, until he pitted in 26th (some 84 places better than lap 1) position for fuel at one hour 15 minutes.
With ¾ hour to go, top 20 was the goal.
As the track got rougher and rougher, the laps were taking some 25% longer with lap times now in the 8 minutes window.
Both Harry and I where well happy with a solid and reliable finish let alone a good 14th position. The bike is now all sorted (after a couple of electrical issues recently) with just some fine tuning for next weeks round at St Leger De Balson round 5, and getting some ‘sand time’ to compete in January and February’s final two rounds with a ‘set up’ ready for the Prestigious televised Le Touquet 3rd & 4th February 2024.
