Version 0 of 1.

A team of amateur drivers are set to take on a 3,720mile (6,000km) rally challenge despite not have a single mile of racing experience between them.

Nev Styles and Tony Day, from Pocklington, will tackle the original route of the famous Paris-Dakar race in the new year.

Mr Styles said it had been his dream to take part in the event since he watched the inaugural race in 1978.
