I personally like more the traditional "Big Brick on Wheels" look of rally tracks.Quote:

When is entrylist of Rallye Oillybya du Maroc published :confused:
Latest rumours talk about two Peugeot 2008 DKR on this race with Sainz and...Loeb ;)
Not the most reliable source, but Autosport.pt reported yesterday that Loeb will be driving a 2008 DKR in next Dakar. The announcement will be made next week before Maroc Rally, in which Loeb will race the car for the first time.

Very nice, will be very interesting. Good to see Elena back with him as well.
Yes, really nice. Curious about his pace in Morocco next week.

First day short review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6oZ_14yTyM
Hirvonen quick today. Watching split times and Loeb started 8 mins ahead of Mikko and hasn't passed the waypoint and Mikko has.
Sainz quickest to 3rd waypoint.

Unfortuneately Loeb was again in trouble today wednesday after 65km of leg: he almost rolled his 2008 in the dunes and had to wait about 3 hours someone to help him to get back on his wheels :(
Looks like Al Attiyah is going steady. Keeping an eye on Vasiliev rather than Sainz
can Nasser even drive so? I thought he always tries to be first no matter what.
Yes yes but i think they are trying to win the FIA championship with this race.. I think he needs to beat Vasiliev only to do that. With today's stage we'll know.. With over five minutes behind Sainz we might see him up the pace.Quote:
