What is Dune 1-2-1?
What is it? – Dune 1-2-1 is a one of its kind course where we take drivers and navigators out to teach them about some of the key areas of desert racing. In these conditions its not all about going fast its about getting to the finish. Through the course we teach many key aspects from hydration, recovery and general mental aspects to help build drivers to be as competitive as possible but more importantly SAFE.

Anyone can get you to the start !
But can they get you to the finish?
Safety is vital.
Safety is vital. Our team has undergone crucial trailer and recovery training. Even though we are well trained in these areas it can never be a bad thing to have extra training when it comes to safety. Edd traveled from the UK to teach the team on UK legislation which is different to the UAE so now we are equipped with extra knowledge. We can offer your team the very same insurance policy at our facility in Dubai. This is not just for Rally Teams, we have run courses of the members of Dubai Polo Club.
All scenarios are catered for in our comprehensive recovery training

Navigator Training
“A very useful 2 days! The guys work at such a high professional level. It is difficult to find places to training and to replicate what events are really like. We have done FIA event stages, with proper road books and ERTF GPS. There is no substitute for training using the proper equipment. I am much more prepared”
– Michael Orr (WRC Co-Driver)
Dune Training
“Developing correct dune driving skills in the correct manner is crucial to one’s success. I learnt how to drive quickly, safely and confidently in the dunes through the tuition I received at the Dune 1-2-1.The programme is diverse enough to take absolute novices and experienced rally drivers and make them truly capable racers in the dunes.”
– Luke Botha (SACCS Competitor)

Dune Training
“I have been fortunate enough to have competed in the various deserts within South America, Southern Africa, China and the Middle East – it is with this background and experience in mind that I can comfortably say that the Dune 1-2-1 is by far the most comprehensive, informative and professional dune experience that I have come across….they are simply NEXT LEVEL!!!!”
– Terence Marsh (REDLined Motorsports CEO)
