Hmm, the behind the scenes. Such cool info. I kind of like the suspense, like right before a new woman takes off he clothes.

I've been out at work since this morning, I saw what happened with Nasser on the recap video but nothing was said as to what RG problems were. Anyone know or know where I might find the info.

Tire, alternator and navigation were the issues for RG today.

I heard the same thing : rain.

When there is sand involved, I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if that is good or bad, but in the washes and gravel, I suspect it's hard to know just how deep any particular puddle really is...

New to the website. A little off the subject. I'm from the AZ desert. one of the 2012 refueling videos shows a closeup at the rear of the Hummer on the cowl. It is an Arizona license plate "2 DAKAR" with current tags!!! Last I knew, Robby lives in Cornelius, NC. What is the AZ connection??
if the forecast is rain, the dunes of Fiambala will be tricky for all. One slope your fast on crust with high tire pressure,next slope you punch through the rain crust and down you go. At least they get a mini-break from the heat with some rain.
