Title: Dakar 2009
Post by: Drone637 on January 06, 2009, 01:13:38 PM

Currently on Stage 1.

It's kind of a pain unless you have VS recorded though.  They have a YouTube account with daily updates of the top riders/drivers but their channel is broken.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVVaTZ7mm0U  is Stage one, then you can browse their video's on the right.

Robby Gordon is already a ways back though, shame.  The Hummer is a bit large for the terrain they are running in compared to the desert.

The Hummer was too purpose built... the very reason I never liked the rig in the first place. VS is running daily updates of the race at 3:30... and later in the evening too.

Robby and the Hummer ended up 3rd overall with a budget 1/10th the size of the VW's and Mitsu's

Thats pretty impressive and the hummer did very well this year...next year he'll have 3 h3's competing instead of just 2 (the second one this year posted a 13th overall as well). Next year will be great, but this year was quite amazing as well.

That guy is one heck of a wheel man!!
