yeah i cant wait the service trucks are incredible until they plow through villages. too bad they were targeted by terrorism

Their where never are real attacks on the rally
Btw those trucks are the rallytruck.

there were threats which in a event that takes place in multiple countries is enough to not to risk life's for just a race. and those race trucks are called service trucks they carry parts for most of the teams but there a few that are out there for themselves.the rally trucks are the toureg,mitsubishi,hummer etc......

Your are wrong
This a service truck

Robby gordon will do the dakar in 2009
I hope he finally beats the factory teams.
:-)

well then u r correct but they do race also

Yesterday i saw some video footage of the new Dakar,the recognition team doing it job.It seems to me it would be a great dakar and really hard,pity is the fact of not starting in Lisbon.:-(

Anyone knows if that amazing Tuareg with v12 diesel engine will be there?

But those are the close support trucks

He is one the older truck in the dakar rally it was build 1986 the ginaf rally team will use it as catering/food truck
Testing whit the ginaf rally power team in
Tunesië africa



And here is the team testing in menden in germany

The main team that will have a fight whit us dutch
Is the kamaz master team from russia

And the Czech Loprais team

theres the answer to the toureg question i was looking for an old picture or video of one of the trucks in the eighties dont know if u remeber it but it had two cabins facing backwards and forwards so it could be driven either way haven a hard time finding it there were some crazy prototypes back then

That is one of jan de rooy trucks
