Also it was known already last year that the latest version of the car would not be permitted by the regulations this year.
    This makes sense.

    So why can Hunt (above) use it (the maxi)? Or have I missed something obvious?

    I looked at the rules, it's ambiguous indeed, seems they took quite some liberty when interpreting: https://www.dakar.com/en/the-competi...ion/regulation

    At T1P1 they say older wider cars are allowed if they are not in a team associated with a manufacturer. Then at T2P1 they have a list of elite drivers, including Loeb. Seems they considered Loeb as a "works" driver so they didn't allow him the wider Maxi spec.

    nobody cares about roc anymore.. once it was moved from the canary islands to accommodate the feminine track boys it stopped being Roc.

    On the subject of roc, does anyone know what the event was called that pre dated roc? I remember as a lad going to brands hatch, where they had a similar event but can't for the life of me remember what they used to call it. I think they used to televise it and show it on grandstand, or world of sport. I think the event I went to was circa 1987 and they used Toyota Supra rally cars, and mr2's + others. Can't remember many drivers competing, but think Brundle was there, definitely Derek Warwick, Stig Blomquist, and Juha Kankunnen
