In August, I’ve been travelling some 2,500km through Brazil’s countryside filming a new documentary about Rally dos Sertões – the biggest off-road race in the Americas, the second most dangerous competition of its kind, only after Dakar. It’s an EndemolShineBR production that presents the race from inside the cockpit, showcasing the pilot and navigator perspectives and skills. With state-of-the-art technology and engeneering, cars and motobikes endure long distances during a 10-day period of competition.
Rally dos Sertões is in its 32nd edition and is considered a very tough and difficult race, crossing through many different terrains, with very high temperatures and complex logistics. Pilots and navigators have to find their ways at high speeds through uknown territory. The film is now in its editing stage and will be ready in November.
