[DOUGMO]

every one believes next year will be fine though

I thought they would push it further down in the year

I was at the Mauritanian Moroccan border when it got cancelled. Lots of people where on there way in some serious kit to watch the cars through the desert.

This is the first time the whole event has been cancelled, they have cancelled stages before though.

They are still doing an event in March which is the older cars but have decided it is safe enough.
