4 WEST MEDIA, LE JOG 2006
HERO - The Historic Endurance Rally Organisation, organise what is arguably one of the hardest classic car rallys in the world from Lands End to John O'Groats. I was 2nd Camera for the Rally for Motors TV using Sony Z1. Produced by 4West Media's Mark James, the BBC’s World Rally Championship reporter for eight years. Employed as a freelance camera op rather than a cyfle placement I really enjoyed this event, not only for the filming but because of all the wonderful classic cars that prove they can still endure the demands of the rally and for the sheer endurance of the crews.
Le Jog, described by one German magazine as “the hardest rally in the world”, is like no other motorsport event in the UK. The combination of nearly 1,500 miles of driving, the unpredictable December weather and a demanding series of tests and regularity sections means the crews can’t afford to relax over the event’s three days and two nights, yet Le Jog has never been filmed in its entirety – until now.
The 2006 Le Jog – the 12th running of the event – is now available as a DVD, which tells the stories behind those 1,500 exhausting miles. How, one by one, all but a handful of crews lost their grip on a coveted Le Jog gold medal, why one crew chose to drive over 400 miles to rejoin the rally after retiring and the many struggles to remain in the event when mechanical problems threatened to force a premature end.
