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.

I was under the serious impression ... that the HST support trucks were first shipped to Le Harve, France ... around Octorber 28th ... to join the rest of the competitor's vehicles ... November 21st for scrutineering

What happened ... did the propeller fall off the ship in Jacksonville ... jeje

they where shipped to France.I believe they only tech some vehicles prior to setting sail.

I faintly remember ... albeit a brief mention ... no Robby crew member had to be there present ... although ... that may be last year ... I can't quite put a finger on it

I'm leaning towards ... all vehicles inspected ... screened and tagged ... for a safe voyage aboard the Amburgo Grande ...

What did Robby do ... ship the support trucks directly to Argentina ... by land? jajaja

hopefully all the rigs cleared customs without drama
by the way TOG, for what its worth, the two NBC specials were brillant, well done. Best line...poor man's wind tunnel

Much appreciated Slider! I LOVE the poor mans wind tunnel :)

That was a great line....

Cannot Wait
