Brotherly love will be the order of the day for Terry and David Reynolds for the next few weeks.

For the pair are setting out on the arduous World Cup Rally at the weekend - Terry as driver and David as his navigator.

The Reynolds boys will be travelling from London to Morocco and back for the event, during which they will be raising money for both Bermudian charities and the victims of the terrorist atrocities in the USA.

The 20-day trek, featuring 70 entrants, has 82 time-controls, and 28 competitive test-sections, with more than 6,000 miles of varied terrain placing a premium on reliability.

The 10-days in Morocco form the heart of the rally, but the drive through Portugal, using some of the classic stages of the old TAP Portuguese Rally, provides a sting in the tail and is expected to provide a major final influence on the leaderboard.

Motor-racing legend Stirling Moss will flag off the cars from Brooklands on Sunday.

From there the drivers head to Dover, then on through Europe before turning around in Morocco.

The finish is a return to Brooklands on October 19 - providing the cars are still running!

The brothers, who will be flying the flag for Bermuda, will be competing in an 18-year-old Alfasud Sprint - an Italian-bred sports car.

"I'd rather go with an older car than a newer car," said Terry, who had originally planned to be behind the wheel of a more up-to-date Renault Clio.

"There are none of the electronic gizmos that could go wrong."

The rapport between the siblings is going to be crucial considering the journey they are going to be putting themselves through.

"We have got a good relationship but after 20 days in a car together I think it is going to be a bit frayed by the end of it," said Terry.

"He tells me what to do and how to do it and when to do it. When I get out of hand he usually hits me with something. He said he is going to carry a spanner this time.

"But seriously, you have got to have trust, if you don't have that trust there is no point to it at all."

Because of the events of the past few weeks, added precautions are being taken by the event organisers once the rally reaches Marrakesh.

"There is added security and added police and we are having helicopter cover," said Terry matter-of-factly, who added that pulling out of the event had never crossed his mind.

As far as goals were concerned, he said he was just looking to cross the finish line.

"We are going to take it a day at a time until we get to half way and see where we are. If we are doing well we may put the hammer down then," he said.
