    Hummers a ghey Merican motors are seriously over sized (ci) for the hp and torques they put out. There's nothing clever about it.

    Mini's are also ghey cause they are just the X5's from last year with a different shell.

    The Imperial Toyota Overdrive Hilux is the only interesting vehicle and as per de Villiers style he's getting on with it quietly, he's 3rd and he's still beating the hummers. That V8 does sound cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV5hR...eature=related.

    Does any body have any good footage of the trucks? Missing the trucks this year cause SBS isn't showing vids on web this year. I'll show my true colours - for me it would be a close thing to choose between driving a truck and riding a bike in the dakar.

    The Humbuggy is breathing through a 38mm straw to feed that 6L V8. Which explains why it has to take a while to get up a head of steam...


    Also, Luis on the KTM 150 is out with a broken wrist

    They are running to the 2013 regulations as well which put bigger restrictions on the air intakes. That will make them more competitive for the win next year, if only VW came back as well.
