Does anyone know what the rule changes are in 2013 and how it will effect RGM? although it seems that i heard/read that robby will have a new/different chassis next year.

creo que ha sido el mejor momento de Robby Gordon en su historia, fue un corredor competente y constante.
Gracias a su equipo Speed, a Campbell, a Nasser, definitivamente muy contentos aca en Mexico, Gracias Nuevamente Robby, por hacernos pasar 15 dias muy intensos.
Ganamos 5 stages, el 38% de las carreras, (y se nos escapo la de ayer).

What a crazy few weeks - despite a less than desired finish, I hate to see this run end. Robby really showed what he's capable of this year and they have to wake up to the fact that he's bringing a lot more exposure and excitement than a bunch of high-lipped europeans, putting on the same old show.

Thanks for everything Robby, and for fighting the good fight. One of these days those windmills will give way!

Take out RGM, RG and Nassar and this year's Dakar is very boring both in race and personalities. Mini's would go 1-4 and Santos maybe finishes top 7 after unloading all his parts that last few stages.
