Pic from day 1.

W. Alcaraz in his RZR is in 52nd place, two positions ahead of Robbie Gordon.

 

[Glamisfan]

I'm interested! The tv episodes don't even mention UTV's!

 

[Glamisfan]

If that last post from you has a picture in it, I don't see it on Tapatalk on my iPad.

 

[facteryfmf]

Man everyone in Dakar loves those roof scoops.

 

[Bajaxp]

There is a rule that says that you have to have a 'fire-wall' that goes from the floor to the roof between the drivers compartment and the engine/fuel-cell. It makes for some interesting scoops!

 

[facteryfmf]

Not quite related but a great tribute to the late KC66 on the NBCSports recap today. Godspeed.

 

[GOVACHO]

I kind of like the scoops and the spare tire locations.. Must be a great way to go balls to the wall kind of racing.. Wish I was that lucky...lol...

 

[the stripping shop]

when do you think they will start to enclose drivers compartment. 14 days of driving they are the man.

 

[facteryfmf]

Looks like today's special has been shortened a bit due to severe weather

Yup, we looked into making our current XP4900 meet the FIA rules for a guy in Qatar....It was quite a way from the FIA specs. Firewall, Full fenders in the rear, ECT

 

[Bajaxp]

They reinstated the 22 km that they took out earlier for todays stage. No clue what the issue was. Rain, heat, ??

The fender rule is typically taken care of by running stock width and fender flaps off of the front and rear tires. Not that big of deal.

Rito, I would guess that someone will eventually try to run with a full windshield, but from what I have found out it will likely have to be glass not lexan due to static electricity and scratching. But it was 105 deg F on Sunday's stage 1, and I can't imagine how hot you would get with no air flow. Maybe you would need a Parker Pumper for your fire suit like an astronaut. Well actually I do know from my NORRA truck

RG must have got his poop together today?

"Robby Gordon has finished stage 3 of the 2014 Dakar Rally. Gordon currently sits in 6th place, 7m2 seconds behind leader Nani Roma. A great recovery from the previous 2 stages!"
