Is this a factory entry or Mitsu just testing?
Anyone knows where the turbo diesel engine is from?
Dont think...

Heat of the moment stuff. Hope they cool down and make friends. That's the spirit of the Dakar!

A French Revolution!

In hind sight am thinking, shouldn't they have put more effort to keep Nasser in the race?

What happened to Toyota? Way below expectation.

How about Nani Roma?
Isn't he in the 3rd Toyota?

Toyota with Nasser leading after 2nd leg of Rally Du Maroc!

4WD, 2WD, Diesel, Petrol all pretty close with Mini showing consistent results.

The better pilots will shine!

Toyota with 4WD

Okay.
There are many ways of achieving a good balance I guess. Yes need to see more angles of the vehicle. Looking forward to see it in action.

Just saw this on Toyota web site:

The Toyota Hilux Evo has a target weight that is nearly 600 kilograms lighter than the current race vehicle, and even though attaining that target is nearly...

Wont be surprised if we see a different body. Looks like a cut and paste job from the 4WD frame to the new one. Dont see any spare wheels either. Best place maybe in the center like the peugeot...

Diesel or Petrol would matter I guess when it comes to altitude but Grant is right when it comes to whether it is 2WD or 4WD might not really matter with today's regulations. In fact all indications...

So looks like Peugeot is the team to beat in 2017!!

However we must bear in mind that for them they are down 1mm on the air restrictor from last dakar.
Mini will have the same if that is what...

Thank you for this,

Looks like there has been a ruling on 2nd March in favor of the stewards original ruling and that too was appealed.

Anyone knows whether there was an official appeal by Xraid Mini regarding Peugeot's alleged unauthorized refueling?

There is no news on that though the media reported that Mini would appeal it and...

Yes, remarkable.. for Peugeot too!!

Yes, to ensure that such mistakes do not happen again. I have seen only what has been posted in this forum and going by that, a time penalty would go against the spirit of the Dakar.. I feel. The...

I wish Sven Quandt will immediately withdraw the appeal in true spirit of the Dakar. Yes the organizers made a mistake and probably Peter gained an advantage, how much we don't know. However like a...

Thanks,

Great!!
Lives to fight another day.. hopefully.
To me he is nearly as good as Peter. Maybe not in the most loved team but a great character.

What happened to Sainz? Dont see anything on my...

How far from the finish. Hope he makes it. No party without Nasser for the rest of the Dakar!

Yes.. my bad.. sorry I was not looking at the overall

They are sending batches of ten by ten I think.. second 10 might take awhile longer.

I am confused with the times.. are we all seeing the right timings?

Nasser car seems ok.. gained about 2 min on Peter at wp2.. he has no choice but to attack else it might be too late.. just a few more stages to go and dont think neither Peter nor Nasser would be...
