Keep the Gordini in South America?

I know it is early for this, but that is the sort of guy I am. I know RG will win stages here on out, but his goal is to win the Dakar not stages.

What do you guys think about RG keeping the Gordini in SA for more testing after the race? Heck maybe until next years Dakar? Maybe move some of RGM down there?

I am no race guru or geography buff, but I am rather sure nowhere in the US will give you 6,000 ft of elevation and 130+ temps at the same time. Why not keep the Gordini down there for some more testing in high altitude and beat the thing ever which way?

Think about it -
- The people love him. He probably has more fans down there then up here. This could lead to
-- additional sponsorship
--appearance fees
-- media coverage
-- a better Gordini and better chance to win the race

Heck partner with a local media company down there and do a reality show to find someone to drive Gordini #2 or #3. Would be similar to Nissan Driving Academy. NDA drivers have done very well their first year, and really RG just needs a water carrier anyway and the sponsorship that would come with the show.

You could also have a SST race in one of their big soccer stadiums and I bet you would fill the place.

I love RG, but really think if he wants to win before he gets too old and make $ at the same time he needs to move to capitalize on where the money is for him and that is in SA.

In the meantime I'll continue to cheer him on and watch this rebel cause trouble.

No worries. I changed the video title because great videos like that, when imported from youtube, sometimes have crazy, scattered titles. Thanks for posting it.

of course Robby speed was created without intention of copy unlimited, because never before had crossed each, Robbys speed is more flavorful and tasty... Belive me!

German, has the Speed Unlimited logo always been what it is currently? Would be interested to see what it looked like when they started before RG started Speed Energy.
