Rain, rain and more rain. What was planned as a shallow water crossing almost swallowed this BJ43 support car. The advice was not to over rev the engine as doing so will make the car drift down stream. The rain made things very difficult.

This is SS1. Top Japanese team shows others how to do it. Harohiko Yoshida & Masato Miura show how to do it right.

Third place Kok Tsin Yee & Yap Swee Siong on one of the SS after coming out from the jungle. Here the external roll cage help turn the car through the SS.

Hai, ho, hai ho, it's off to work for the whole Borneo Safari. Chief engineer and club chairman James oversees bridging and earth works.

There was so much bridging and earth works that they worked well into the night. In the end, the going was too tough and they had to turn out from Ovai and back tracked and drove high way to Tenom.

The wagon carried lots and loads of goodies. Here Sun Tung Lee, chief scout takes it for a spin.

Foul up of the year.. this Suzuki belonging to Milling Satu (Penampang) had already rolled one and half time and ended up the right side up. Too much spin saw that it separated the bridge it was going through. It was good that he was strapped in as the roof gave way.

Here the recovery crew winches the Suzuki out from the ravine.

Even event champion Chung Hong Ru had to transport the trailer for a while.

Second place Kok in action on a complicated SS.

This constitutes the regular group of hard core Japanese gang.. they finally won prizes this year..
