CHALLENGE WITHOUT BORDERS AND IMPLEMENTS WARN
This year marks the V edition of BEYOND BORDERS CHALLENGE and marks 20 years since I installed my first winch WARN in Discovery. Since then, I have always been loyal to the brand in all my cars and I must say I have always taken a thousand problems in water, mud or sand ... and now as Director of the trophy, I remain confident in the WARN 9000 XP.
IMPLEMENTOS WARN ha colaborado con Sin Fronteras Challenge desde su creación entregando premios a los equipos mejor clasificados. En los primeros años con Lourdes Pérez como representante de la marca y en estas últimas ediciones con Virginia, una nueva generación que se incorpora al mundo del 4x4 no sólo en los aspectos más comerciales sino activamente, habiendo ya participado como equipo en carrera en la IV edición y preparando su JEEP para la quinta, con más ganas e ilusión si cabe.
But let us count them herself in an interview that we did a few days ago
Hello Virgin ia. We know you're a big fan of the 4x4. But you also have much to do with Implements WARN. Can you explain your role on this company?
This I say is the opposite. First I went to work to implement, as you know I have much to do as a family business and I am from the family, and then is when I met the world of TT and I am an amateur. My role in this company is trying to go ahead and the 4 th generation, where I am, continue ...
We are aware that you participated as a team in the fourth edition and special guest in the third. I want to ask several questions.
Have you seen any difference between the two editions?
Well although in the third did not participate directly if you've seen this year has passed in several respects to the former.
What made you to sign up to No Borders Challenge participant and leaving the comfort of the VIP?
I wanted to put aside the comfort and live VIP experience.
As a participant in the latest edition, what conclusions did you get as a team?
Given that we have teamed been friends a long time I think it has its positive and negative, but ultimately there was much mutual and understanding between us. We have much to go but we know that will be together ...
Does competition experience is as you imagined? What would you highlight from your participation in Without Borders?
In part it is as imagined. But far exceeds expectations. In every way ... but above all enjoy the lonely places, the people you meet along the race, children ... the mir adas. You learn to know and appreciate the life we \u200b\u200bhave, for me to participate on this has been as fulfilling a childhood dream.
is the image I had in Morocco, Africa and I have after the Sin Fronteras ... I was quite happy for 10 days.
And as a sponsor of the trophy. How about organizing Without Borders Challenge ?
I found it very good, and I think the organization strives each year to make a career unlike any other.
the fourth edition in two teams you were female. Do you think this is an advantage or disadvantage when the classification?
I do not believe in the advantages or disadvantages because of gender.
As teams, what major problems you have had to overcome during the race?
We have not major problem at any time. We also had wonderful assistance helped and supported us at all times, Paco and José Antonio with the Hummer have been our guardian angels.
What do you most like the trophy? and they like less?
What more ... EVERYTHING. From the seedy gas station in the most inhospitable carreterilla ... people, and shovel Senior Mohamed Hamid, the child with the world's longest eyelashes I said good morning in Chegaga Erg ... games with the station, the laughter and crying in the middle of nowhere ... maps ... maps! ! The sun, the intuition, the river, the moon, honey, goat cheese ... the sunrise with loud music, food ... know the depth.
last thing ... do not spend more nights in the dunes and will not last forever!
know you've prepared a JEEP WRANGLER. Can you tell us what preparation you've done and who you did it?. And above all, your car has behaved as expected?
WARN Accessories: 9.5 XP winch, bumpers front and rear wheel holders, footrests, air compressor SPI and cover spreads. OME Shocks and Safari snorkel.
The preparation was made by Santiago Bravo's "Edge 4x4" Las Rozas (Madrid).
The car has behaved perfectly.
During your training in Morocco a few months before, can you tell us some Travel story?
could say that all are stories ... first direct clash with the good atmosphere of the desert ... a great trip with a great teacher, a journey that taught us many useful things for the Challenge and the life! It was a magical journey and refreshing! Also a trip where I discovered my worth. To prove to myself that I could.
Indeed, teams attending Without Borders Challenge winch what would you recommend for your car?
recommend especially in winches, depending on the terrain: 9.5 XP, 8274 or 12.0 ENDURANCE.
We also want to consult you what other media and you have to IMPLEMENTS WARN products make it easier for teams to take part in the next edition?
Other items available include: air compressors to 12/24 V., rescue bags, wireless remote control and as latest addition to the new headlights WARN with wireless controller that will in the FAIR MOTORTEC.
also supposed to participate in the V edition, would you team up with another car? And if so, do you think if both teams are completely female again?
the moment we have no plans to team up for next year. We liked the experience of going alone, we work better ... but hey, you never know.
know your co-pilot is also a woman. Cecilia has become all a discovery by her smile, good humor and sportsmanship. What do you think of it as a passenger and traveling companion?
She was vital for me in the race we work together as a team and her positive personality and ability to adapt to any environment was excellent.
Did you share single new experiences with her or think of a man more experienced co-driver?
Of course I will continue sharing with her travels and experiences.
Finally, do you recommend to participate in a challenge and a CHALLENGE WITHOUT BORDERS 4x4 enthusiasts and adventure?
certainly recommend it to everyone. It is a worthwhile experience.
But we know something more about this company that is referenced in the 4x4 world.
