We are now in the final days leading up until the start of the 2013 Dakar Rally here at PlanetRobby. This is the most anticipated rally in recent memory, with MANY subplots ( RG vs the mini's, the king of the energy drinks and the new "Nasser" buggy) and of course, the battle with Peterhensel. This is truly an US vs THEM battle for the ages. Those who have been here during the past Dakar Rallies, we plan on doing what we always have done: Making this a great 'getaway' and destination for all Robby Gordon and Dakar fans.
Looking at the Schedule, the scrutineering sets things in motion:
January 2,3 & 4th, 2013: The beaches of Lima
The site of the technical and administrative checks will be set up in the Magdalena District, where the South-American competitors will assemble on 2nd January in the afternoon. The “Dakar Village”, a meeting place for the competitors, the rally’s sponsors and the spectators, is next to the secure car park where the vehicles will be parked before the start.
Opening hours for the public:
01/02: 11am - 11p
01/03: 11am - 11pm
01/04: 10am - 4pm
5th January 2013: on stage in Chorrillos
Before setting off for the rally’s first special stage, the public will discover the 2013 Dakar’s competitors, on a podium set up on the beach in Chorrillos: the presentation will take place from 8am to 1.30pm.
Stage 1 runs from Lima to Pisco and has a VERY SHORT special section, only 13 km long.
We will have a thread for EACH stage of the rally, as well as the post race quotes, etc. Feel free to discuss your thoughts & predictions leading up to stage 1. Thanks for the support.

Just noticed that the Smart Car thing has been withdrawn from this years rally as well due to not being able to get enough funding to get everything to Peru.
