I have no doubt TOG!!
If SST = Stadium Super Truck, then possibly HST = Highway Super Truck.
I know Robby has said it is a Gordini HST. Time will tell but still think that "Gordini" is a joke based upon Gordon and Mini (this was brought up earlier), prefaced on something like Gordon eating a mini.. But if it is Gordon and Mini, shouldn't it be pronounced "Gor-din-ee", instead of "Gor-deen-ee" Just wondering?
People won't notice in person because it's all the same.
Josh, I was thinking the same thing (I am in a body shop as well). Flourcent paints require some differnent prep processes, and even then can be tricky to shoot.
I am betting the HST will not standing still long enough for most folks to notice!
I wonder, could the moveable wing be helpful not only for downforce and speed-braking on WRC sections, but also be actuated rapidly enough to keep the tail on the ground in the event of a high-speed tailgets high, stuff-the-nose-in-the-sand type flip. RG's awesome style and speed, especially on rolling terrain, have put him on the lid in a couple of Dakars.
Josh - Yeah this was taken before final touchups, etc
