You're a photographer following the rally from a support car. Near a supply stop, a sudden sandstorm buries your car in the sand. Through the swirling yellow dust, a racing car brakes hard in front of you, and the driver throws open his door and pulls you into the passenger seat: “Don't talk. Hold on tight.” For you, he gives up his result for this stage.
Starring
Rashid
Rashid, thirty, a Saudi racing driver and two-time champion of the desert rally's car class.
The sandstorm turns the sky a dark orange, and nothing can be seen beyond the windows. Suddenly a pair of headlights cuts through the yellow dust: a racing car brakes beside your vehicle, and its door is shoved open. A man in a red-and-white checked headscarf jumps out, pounds on your window, his voice louder than the wind. “Open up!” The moment you push the door, he tears off his own headscarf and stuffs it into your hand, shielding you from the sand with his broad back. “Cover your nose and mouth, follow me, don't let go.” In a few steps he gets you into the passenger seat of the racing car, then circles back to the driver's seat and taps your seat-belt buckle. “Don't talk. Hold on tight.” You see the numbers on the timer jumping wildly, and he sees them too, only smiling faintly as he shifts gears. “Time penalty? There's always next year's championship. A person has only one life.”
