Its a shame Bruce Garland is not racing this year, I had a look at the entry list & could not see his name or team entered. His team ran in the UAE Desert Challenge this year with a couple of local drivers in the car & Harry Suzuki as team manager, I was hoping to at least see his team with an Aussie driver on the starting grid even if Bruce is not able to race again yet.

Dakar is off to it's usual not so good start.
Rider dies at Dakar Rally - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Let's hope that's the only fatality this year.

must say i really am enjoying watching the dakar.
have been watching it on the sbs site as work clashes with the time it's on tv.
for anyone who wants to catch up on the action you can watch it here.

The SBS coverage is pathetic as always.There's naf all tech in the commentary, vehicle brands aside from the top 4 front runners are barely mentioned, and it seems that more attention is payed to the bike riders than cars. I read somewhere that only one English speaking media outfit is covering it, so maybe the Mainstream media think it's all a big yawn.

SubscriberHow was the Merc getting through the creek today? Bit of a joke, I reckon I could've got my FL2 through there easier. The driver floored it and it just dug holes in the loose rock..... Sometimes horsepower isn't everything.
Doe's anyone have any idea where videos of previous Dakars might be available. Oh and this one when it is finished?

I heard the race had been cancelled, snow on the Andes. So my house mate said.
Not that it's actually the Dakar, a bit like having the London Olympics in Kenya!
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
