I see what you mean Charlie. But then again I should imagine AK in Peterborough would be keen to see their sportscar do well, and they would be doing a good job of preparing your car (hopefully, including fitting a trip meter).

And before there is a barrage of replies, reference you winding us all up with your last sentence, I will step in first.
From the regulations:

15. Assistance:
Assistance or backup vehicles are not permitted. Competitors should not involve friends or relatives in following the route in any way, this will be deemed outside the spirit of the event. Crews and teams are required to be self sufficient throughout the event. Every effort will be made by Marshalls to follow the route, and where time allows give assistance. However, it can not be guaranteed that all parts of the route will be covered and competitors should make every effort to extricate themselves from any difficulties encountered.

Assistance from team members and fellow competitors is permitted. Competitors in difficulty do appreciate offers of assistance. Local services should be called upon for help. Having a car repaired for a day and taking the next morning re-start is permissible. The España-Santiago 2007 is primarily about building or preparing a car capable of completing the route.
