Systems checks and panelling up of ThrustSSC are ongoing during today. Completion of the systems check is the final task before the first desert runs on Al Jafr desert - these are scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday 12th November.
The team's equipment is now being moved to the desert. Would anyone who contacts the team by email or the satellite telephone/fax line please note that the VSAT dish will move this afternoon and the Pit Stop Trailer first thing in the morning - communications by these means will be down until they are re-united (expected around 0800hrs GMT, 1000hrs local).
'De-fodding’ - collecting all stones and other debris - is in progress. Tracks 14, 15, 16 and 17 (of a total of seventeen) are completed and tracks 3, 4, and 5 are approaching completion. Once these three tracks have been done, tracks 1 and 2 will receive the attentions of the fodding team.
