Philip Young died

12/03/2015

Philip Young died. That damn, trivial fall from the motorcycle in Burma led us away forever the gruffest among our friends. The prince organizer of the largest international rallies. Only he was able to invent races like Around the World in 80 Days or the Beijing to Paris. The next one, in June 2016, would have been the fifth with 120 crews from 26 different countries!). For twenty years, we have seen him how our comet. We organized our life on the car, that thrills us, according to his proposals. He was always brilliant, innovative, adventurous. He took us to the Himalayas, three times in Africa, Pakistan and Iran, in the Gobi Desert, in Alaska. He made us angry and exalted. He has filled our existence of unforgettable memories. We followed him almost everywhere. We decided to jump (just to repeat the adventure in Mongolia) the race that for the first time carried a western rally in Burma. Just where Philip lost his life, at age 67. He was shuttling among the buildings of the various customs offices, to facilitate, like usual, the transit "his" competitors. No one can take his place. Not even in our memories.
