I think I did this last year and got razed, but since we are all waiting for the Dakar to start and could care less about New Years Eve, let's put out some Dakar predictions. Here are mine.

Robby's Finish -Top 3 if no breakdowns longer than 40 min. At least 3 stage wins. I think third year cars are the sweet spot and a top three heck top 5 this year would be great.

Winner if not Robby - Unfortunately Nassar because I don't think even he can break those Mini's.

Peugeot Debut - Win some stages but break downs hurt them. Oh and Cyril sees Coma broke down on his bike and runs him over since Cyril is complete a-hole.

Other Stuff -
- Live chat breaks and everyone complains.
- People complain about no reports from TOG. Everyone defends TOG.
- Tracking on Dakar.com sucks and we all go to http://trackingdakar.nl/ and still complain.
- People will not stop talking about Gordini #2.
- Everyone will call the HST Gordini a Hummer and it will make us all mad.
- Something will break and some backyard mechanic will question why the hell Robby developed the car that way, or have some duct taped way to fix it.
- We will all dream of the day we get to go down and follow the Dakar. My bucket list item (need the cash and the bike skills) - http://www.rideadv.com/motorcycle-tours/special-events-offers-in-mo...
- I will try to figure out how I am going to follow the Dakar like I want to during one of the busiest two weeks I have ever had work wise.

What do you guys have? Would love to hear TOG's about what he expects from the Planeteers.

I'd love to hear people's opinions on the main pros and cons of each car. What do folks think will win out as a concept all things being equal in drivers, crashes, nav errors etc. purely mechanical performance and reliability? 2wd v 4wd, diesel v gas, weights, wheelbases, tires size etc.

Mini
Peugeot
Toyota

Sorry in advance if this topic has been covered in detail on the site!

Thanks, JP.
