[RC] PC (not WEC) - Tx Trigger

Remember, THIS race is not the WEC. Last year, the WEC in  Aachen was won by
Miguel Vila Ubach  on Hungares in a time of 9:12:27.  In 2005 it was held in
the UAE  (over those flat, groomed courses) and the first to finish was
Sheikh Hazza bin Sultan Al Nahyan on Hachim  in a time of 7hr and 3min. But
in 2000, in France, the WEC was won by  Maya Killa Peringérard on  Varoussa
in 9 hrs. 32 min.

I'm not sure you can compare many other races (yes, races, not rides) to
those held in the UAE on those man made fairly flat courses, built for
speed.

Whole different sport in my book.
