Cars manly but also trucks
Cars due to knowing quite a few of the drivers that do it and always looking out for them, see today that Gottie is out which is a shame.
Not a bike person but respect the effort to do it on a bike. Personally prefer a full metal jacket around me when I drive.
I mainly follow the bikes
Im a bit impressed that Minis are 1 2 and 3 at this stage, I didn't even know you could buy a 4WD Mini , just looked at the specs of the Mini Countryman ALL4 , they even have diff lock. I normally just follow the trucks, now watching the Minis with interest.
I cant get over how amazing the scenery is
There's not much "Mini" in those Dakar Mini's!

These were all taken at the 2011 Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, but the current ones would be somewhat similar I'd guess.
The 3 Aussie riders that finished were 50 minutes within each other.
They placed 37,38,39. That is a great result :)
