1. Whereas most French adventures focus on mechanical sports, such as the Paris-Dakar Rally and the 2000-mile Harricana Snowmobile Race in Canada, Fusil was adamant that any sports in what he called the Raid Gauloises would be human or animal-powered only.
2. A yearly budget of a million pounds from the cigarette company make Fusil's dream for an annual multi-discipline event in the most beautiful corners of the world come true.
3. Fusil chose Costa Rica as the venue for the 1990 Raid Gauloises, held over 10 days in December.
4. At intervals, Fusil flagged away each quintet up an innocuous-looking farm track.
5. Before leaving the sumptuous confines of the hotel in the capital, San Jose, Fusil showed the teams live examples of the country's most poisonous snakes.
6. Gerard Fusil was only too aware of the dangers the 175 racers faced between the Caribbean and the Pacific coasts of a country aptly nicknamed the Switzerland of Central America.
7. Fusil was not concerned by the lack of foreign interest in the first race - more worrying was the fact that no French team finished in the top three.
8. Wary of the advantages the Kiwi teams had had on home ground, Fusil refused to name the route, but still made one vital error (and gave away a crucial piece of information for the Costa Rican teams) by saying it would be a coast-to-coast race across the Central American country.
9. From the palm tree-lined Playa da Bonitas, 70 inflatable canoes burst through the surf on the signal of Gerard Fusil's starting pistol.
10. Gerard Fusil, a French radio journalist, suffers the same insatiable affliction as Francoise, along with hundreds of other amateurs who want to cheat death with a dramatic natural backdrop, but his connections within the French media gave him the chance to create an annual event to satisfy even the most daredevil adventurer.
11. Fusil decided to leapfrog a treacherous 50-mile section between the Caribbean coast and the foothills of the mountainous interior of Costa Rica to keep the duration of the race down to 10 days.
12. "There are only two places you can cross from coast-to-coast and one route takes 14 days, so Fusil's route could only be in one place."
13. For the inaugural Raid Gauloises in New Zealand in November 1989, Fusil chose running, rafting, canoeing, climbing and horse-riding as the modes of transport for a 250-mile race for teams of five (including at least one woman).
