I saw this on last nights Top Gear (UK) and it is extremely inspirational to say the least. These are British soldiers who have been injured in middle east and this race helps them cope with their injuries as well as spreading the word. The co-driver is a triple amputee (lost 2 legs and an arm) and the main driver lost his left leg from the knee down... And the car they will be driving has a manual tranny...

There's a link where you can donate some money. They are currently driving a Land Rover which is definitely sub-par so they need our cash! IMO Red Bull or some other sponsor someone big in the 4x4 Rally scene should pony up one of their cars...
