Thread: The Dakar is on....

I thought I'd bump this up to the top for 2013 as SBS coverage starts at 5:30 PM on Jan 6th. I hope they show more of the Land Rover based Bowlers this year and maybe a RR Sport based Nemesis if any are entered. I was very impressed with the Bowler the year before last, as a there was a car sized hole next to a bend in the track, and a lot of cars had to be helped out of it by the spectators. The Bowler just had to be helped on to it's wheels and drove itself out, whereas the others had to be pushed out as well.

One of our WA members is hoping to compete next year
He is a mojo bike pilot.

Was it just me or was the video quality of tonights first stage terrible?

My annual post Christmas treat is back.
The DAKAR started on Sunday
Do you get it in Oz?

We get a 30 minute wrap up each day, ~12 minutes of which is new footage. Video quality was crap for stage 1.

X 2 - on free to air we only get a very poor coverage mostly featuring not-so-subtle red bull and other sponsors' ads
