2015 Dakar - Prelude To Stage 1

It's getting close to the start of greatest race in the world, the 2015 Dakar Rally! In the days leading up to the start of stage 1, there will be many events taking place. Robby Gordon and a few #TeamSPEED members have already arrived in Argentina, and the remaining crew will arrive around Dec.30th.


The guys will pick up the support trucks and the Gordini, then they will setup the #TeamSPEED compound and work on the vehicle leading up to Scrutineering (Tech inspection). Scrutineering takes place from January 1st to 3rd in Buenos Aires. On Jan 3rd, the teams will parade to the 'opening ceremonies ramp' and all the drivers will be introduced. There will be links to the "LIVE TV FEED" available on Jan. 3rd.


Stage 1 begins on Jan. 4th, 2015. As always, we will have live raceday chat, stage threads, in-action updates, photos, videos, etc. The "official" #TeamSPEED daily stage videos will be hosted here as well. The guys on the crew will also be sending us updates from the frontline.

From the #424's Facebook page :

"The Desert Warrior 3 stands looking smooth and sophisticated next to the brash American, Robbie was in scrutineering all day and wasn't happy when he finally got through !! The Desert Warriors had no problems and sit in the Parc ferme tonight."

So they kept Robby in scrutineering all day ? Not that I'm surprised….

Good thing they worked all day on thanksgiving so the pricks could come to the shop and do a prescrutineering pass.

Hey, they're French. Remember? This stuff happens every year.

Well on the bright side, If they kept him there all day they had more than enough chance to look at everything so they can't call him a cheater later for shit that is on the car now.

Just got back and started reading thru the post. Forgetting steering wheel is epic. Hopefully the birthday hang over wore off after a full day of listening to French English in tech inspection. Time to go racing.
