Taking on the Biggest Race, in the Smallest Machine

[JoeyD23]

Somewhere in the Atacama desert I sat up on a deserted ridge looking down at a little red dot kicking up a little tail of dust. It was so small it was almost insignificant against the epic Andean landscape. But then a much bigger and faster blue and white dot quickly caught up with the red one, blasted past and completely enveloped it in a huge cloud of dust. The Polaris RZR had slowed down for a small ditch that wound across the trail, the Kamaz (big huge utility truck) hadn’t and was even from my distant vantage point I could see that the truck was in the air when it overtook. A few moments later when the dust had cleared the RZR started again. I shook my head and sat there wondering what it would be like to have a 10 ton truck overtake you in the air, and why someone would want to put themselves through such an experience.

I love reading stories about the Dakar. Joey or Robb can you do another write up on the specs of the Dakar RZR. Like what components they are using, how big is the fuel cell, why they build them so different then the way we do in the U.S.
