The cars and their drivers were waved off successfully by the Maharana of Udaipur. The start of the event was big news in India with both loacal and national papers turning up to interview John Brigden (event organiser) and take photos of all the classic cars and the participants in them. The flag off attracted both the locals and tourists to come and watch.
As said before the flagging off event was a success however the Bentley driven by Martyn Godfrey and Jenny Robbie was driven straight to Bunty’s garage where it had a full service to try and determine the mystery problem that had been holding the car back all weekend. In the end the problem with the car took so long to diagnose it meant staying an extra night in Udaipur for them. Martyn was with the car until 1am. After looking at many possibilities the true problem was dirty fuel in the fuel tank. All other cars arrived safe and sound without major incidences on the first day to the very striking Jodphur Palace Hotel. The route was fairly easy and it accounted for a stop off in Ranakpur to see an ancient Jain temple.
