Hi Chris. I believe I have some photo's of the monster Mini at the Desert Challenge when I competed over there. Shows the undercarriage, under the side sills with the Carbon Fibre panel removed and in the "boot" where the spare tyres are. All space-frame tubing "chassis", Carbon Fibre bodywork and Titanium bits. Also stands head and shoulders higher than a Mini!:cool:
The rules are extremely complex but there is a "Production" class that is very, very limited in what changes you can make. The best place Production car sitting around 15th in the cars. (I think it's a Toymota Prado or similar).
The buggies get 2WD, much more wheel travel, ability to change tyre pressure on board, etc. I'll see if I can come up with a summary, but cars aren't my strong point:angel:.
I'm also hopeful that Macman on here, that is at the Dakar doing photo-journo duties for the GHR Honda team, may have some photo's of the Land Rover team this year. I'll be prodding him to post a few up. I was looking forward to seeing those Bowler things this year, until work schedule changed and my plans along it:mad:.
Cheers
John B
