- Welcome to Round two of the 2024 Defender Rally EU Baja Championship in Gatinais, France - Rallye Terres Du Gatinais. This is my first international rally in Big Boy my 2.3 tonne beast of a Defender 90! As I continue into year two of the Bowler Driver Development Pathway I now have my national license through racing with Bowler Motors. And we are also upping my game in terms of teammates. I’m now with up there one of the most experienced motorsport individuals in the UK, Chris Hammond.
How did I survive!!??
Driving in treacherous conditions, a racing heart and a few tears while sliding in the mud, skimming over ruts, squealing with adrenalin, facing ice like terrain and avoiding huge ditches that were taking no prisoners!
Of the 75 vehicles that started only 45 finished, that's 30 vehicles either crashing out or having mechanical problems! So after only hitting one obstacle, I am proud to have not only finished but claimed 7th in class!
Next round is in Spain and it's a 400km day! Bring it on 💪

DODO? DODO? ... The most gorgeous Dodo that's ever lived 😍
Im a 62 year old truck driver, recently got back into motorcycles. Having a blast! You always inspire me. When things are challenging you keep on truckin👍🙂
Friggin awesome Vanessa. Your progression in four-wheel racing and your learning is coming on in leaps and bounds. Love your relationship with Chris. Brilliant Vanessa, just brilliant.
And welcome to Chris. And Big Boy has a new outfit, a very fetching design. I guess Sid is feeling a tad inadequate... Also a tad harsh on "ditch the Dodo", we love Anika, she's a loon and a great member of your team! Stage 2 having snotty wet patches is so descriptive and why you need to keep Mr Boy tyres side down and in the track. If I was brave and really felt the need to loose a lot of weight very fast I'd be happy to be a passenger in one of your drives unfortunately the thought of the amount clean up afterwards on the inside of the vehicle might just stop me. I'd probably be ready for recycling afterwards as well. A top job Vanessa, and well done, Chris is a great guy and please don't "ditch the Dodo".
I love how you give your Vehicles names and when you talk about them you refer to them in the male, him, he, boy
Venessa! Absolutely amazing driving! You should be very proud of yourself. How much did it cost you to get Chris to say all those things? LOL! You need to make a "DITCH THE DODO!" t-shirt with Anika's face on it! Oh and oh oh, man bun alert! 😂😂😂
loverly defender hunny
hi it’s me again,i never new that you have never raced your defender!From your fan,riley
First international race yeah. I've only raced in the UK until this

Amazing driving Vanessa, even with Chris's expert help you have the "technique". A truly courageous person (your middle name me thinks) for getting in the drivers seat in the first place! It's good you can let the emotions (and stress) out with a good cry - no harm in that at all - kudos! Hats off to you and looking forward to your next event. Think it's time I got another tee soon 🏁🏁🍾🍾🌹🌹
So funny to watch depending on which camera you’re using, is if the vehicle is Left hand or Right hand drive. No wonder you found drive difficult at the start. Lol
No TGOAB video would be complete without you horsing back some food. Well done.
Hey if you were snow downhill slolom skiing you want to hit all the flags so you all good!
Rubbing "is" racing 😎🥃
What happened with the Eco-Race?
Putting the oven on and prepping dinner while I wait for you and your shenanigans...
UPDATE: The car looks Sweeeet!!! 👍
Haha yey thanks dude 💪 hope it's something tasty!?
@@TheGirlOnABike The dude abides! The oven was to dry my rug, and the dinner was a set of White Russians... 😎
Sorry for the nerd moment, but with a BFGoodrich tyre sponsorship and the championship website stating all cars run BFG's why did all the defenders have Goodyear duratrac's on for this event? 🙈🙈
WELL DONE what was your final place in the race👍👍x
7th in class and 43rd overall in all classes (bearing in mind T1 rally cars etc where the Defender has no chance). Super happy
@@TheGirlOnABike pleased your safe and the car. You did well to stay on track. Keep up the great videos. watched you from day one . rubber side down always. x
“835”!!
😂😂
Hahhaa I'm so dyslexic I didn't even notice this until now. Wow 🤷♀️🤣🤣
@@TheGirlOnABike 👊🏻
Always thought with fireproof underwear it was also for both gender's available . And big boy looks great in his new skin
Yey thanks. Sadly the ladies options are limited yeah
