Of the years that I have followed the Dakar rally this has been the most interesting and the most fun to follow. Many thanks to TOG and the rest of the Planet Robby crew for the great coverage. I think that Robby showed everyone that he and JC were the class of the field this year. Congrats to the fine support crew for keeping the Hummer in the rally.

Love what u said, Be back in 2013 faster and better than ever...This should have been your year, 2013 Kick their Whinin azzes!

Mini's are for Girls!...YEP..but don't leave out the :"Girlie boys"

On to Daytona.....git sum of the "BIG $$ for the 2013 war chest!

The ONLY way this could have been any better would have been with a Podium or Overall Win. Great job to all

Thank you TOG for Planet Robby and the work you put into it. My husband has lost most of his eye sight from glaucoma. Being able to read all the comments and play the videos for him has brought a great deal of pleasure to him. We have both been fans of RG for years.

Sorry for the occasional F Bombs :)

It was no problem. He enjoyed all of it.

Robby, Johnny and the entire Speed Energy team including his sponsors really showed us something this Dakar and in my opinion he is the real and true winner.

In the face of baseless allegations from sore losers and blatant corruption from the ASO, the entire Speed Energy team fought on like the champions they are. Ever when Nassar decided to take his ball and go home, the team faced with greater adversity showed what true racers, sportsmen and embassadors of motor sports are made of.

There can be no doubt that the team brought the best car to the rally, and that Robby and Johnny make an unstoppable team. His sponsors are to be commended for their support and all the Planet Robby squad have done an outstanding job bringing us all coverage.

In summation, Robby and his entire team have brought a long-lost element of class and sportsmanship to the Dakar and motorsports that has clearly been lost or sold to the highest bidder and I hope this fact isn't lost on his current or future sponsors for next year.

Bravo Team Speed, for you gave all of us who support the entire team something to root for this year and you did it in the best way possible.

Finally as it is fitting:

:They can kiss ALL of our asses!!!

Team Speed!!

Cheers to Robby and the team for a rally well done! Now only a couple of months until Bristol and will hopefully see y'all there.

Yes, Thank you TOG and the Speed Energy team!! Although I did not post much, I think I read every single post and watched every video! I always thought living in the heart of NASCAR country was awesome, but now I wish the off-road stuff was a lot closer. Just ordered another case of Speed, time to pull a few tabs and get my free sweatshirt. GAS ON RGM!!

There was no point in continuing after so many break downs. I must say, it was a wrong move to go with that team in the first place and I had very little choice then. My earlier team Volkswagen was no longer interested in Dakar and I had to make that move at the last minute to try and retain my title. Not only just the car but the team was equally bad,” said al-Attiyah,
