Camel Trophy Defender

1996 Camel Trophy Event at Kalimantan.

 

This image is believed to be of renown Dominican enduro racers Angel Leandro Soto and Alfonzo Jose Guerci along with their Defender 110. Known for their use of multiple tow cables and exterior truckside gymnastics, this team was able to traverse the most difficult terrain. These crowd favorites battled seemingly impossible conditions including heavy rains and swamp-like pathways as shown here. The 1996 event would be remembered as the last Trophy to adhere to the traditional format of teams traveling together as a convoy.
