    Yeah I think the best part is that you don't have to be a world karting champion when you were 4 years old, like for Formula 1.

    Thierry Sabine, "A race for amateurs where the professionals are tolerated. Not the other way round."

    Sad to see another fatality. I believe the Dakar has a record of atleast one death a year. It is definetly the world's most dangerous race.

    I'm excited for Nasser Al-Attiyah shoving it up VW's nose. Everyone said it was a VW vs Mitsu race and here is the BMW out front.

    +Robby Gordon's Hummer will come into its own in the coming stages. The "Africa" portion of this years Dakar is now underway and Gordon finished 3rd today.

    PLV......are you watching it on Eurosport or something else?

    Ricardo Tormo? I'd give anything to be there for a Motogp race. Haven't ever seen 100+ thousand people screaming in a stadium. Kick ass stuff man.

    Oh btw, Pascal Terry has reportidly passed away due to a heart attack. There was still a terrible breakdown in comunication between the time he signaled for help but atleast his passing wasn't due to a racing incident.

    Nonetheless.....RIP

    opps. I realized that error right after i saw you posted. I always think of Ricardo Tormo when thinking of Valencia.

    That is in the Catalan region right? I hear they have great riding/driving roads in that region. Is that so?

    Any pics?
