Dakar Rally 07

The Dakar Rally is coming up in January, going from Lisboa Portugal to Dakar Senegal in Africa. Info can be found here Euromilhões Lisboa Dakar 2007: homepage

There are a number of Toyota Landcruiser Prado's running, but the Mitsubishi Pajeros will be favored in this, followed by the Volkswagon Touaregs.

Here is the list of entrants.
http://www.dakar.com/2007/DAK/presen..._auto_2411.pdf

This event (formally the Paris / Dakar) was what first peaked my interest in offroad and 4x4's. Well, this and the old Camel Trophy events.

even though i love Dragon (formerly known as the artist FJdragon) i have to ask: this isn't off topic?
If I erred in my placement of this thread (about an offroad event) then I apologize and would ask if a mod would please move it. As far as the revelation by another, didn't anyone ever tell you that nobody likes a tattle-tale?

Re: Dakar Rally 07

The touaregs have been fast through the first leg. Anxious to see how they make out in the dunes this year. It'll be nice to see the Toytrucks and cars finish decently.

Re: Dakar Rally 07

They have won the first two stages. The Mitsu's will be there at the end, I do believe.

Re: Dakar Rally 07

Thanks for posting this Dragon!
Now that Speed chan. has become NASCAR central(not that there's anything wrong with that!) they no longer show Dakar or WRC. So.... They no longer show the BSET DRIVERS ON THE PLANET!!!!!!!!
I've had the privilage of being on a service crew at the "Rim of the world rally". Being there is AWSOME!
