Check out what I think will be Team Speeds primary competition this year. Look at the 2:30 mark to see all the cooling they put in the back and then at the end they show it on the trail. Anyone else think this thing looks crazy top heavy?

Okay. Some observations, some answers, and some opinions. First, Peugeot takes motorsports very seriously. Second, they have accomplished much in WRC, Rally, hill climbs (Pikes Peak comes to mind) and sportscars. Third, they have also fallen short; sportscar racing comes to mind; they were always second to Audi except at Sebring in 2010 and 2011,and maybe another or two that I can't remember. But, they alway brought seriously ferociously serious equipment (i.e. the 908 206, 405 and the 908 HDI FAP). Can anyone remember the video of Ari Lyendyk at PP in the Pioneer sponsored 405? I also think this will be a serious assault on the Dakar. Three cars, with three very accomplished drivers, albeit one always on bikes, will challenge the other teams. I also think, they have taken what monies existed on the sportscar side, after the pullout, and quietly moved it over to the off road side. They will be a thorn in the side of the Mini's and RGOR this year. Definitely, RG will have to up his game, even more than usual, this year. And by the way, you misspelled the brand.

I meant the 205...

Thanks for the help on the spelling. Last time I actually saw a Peugeot I was 17 and busy getting a C- in French.
Well I've never built or tuned a off road vehicle but I've been a fan long time and the 1st thing that comes to mind is it looks like it rides to high/top heavy, 2nd its ride doesn't look smooth it looks bouncy especially compared to RG stuff looks like the car/TT float with the suspension doing the working, but hay I don't build them I just watch them because their bad ass. Good luck Robby!!!
BTW, I think these guys will have technical issues the entire time. Even VW and BMW/Mini had issues their first year.

this looks like a complement to RG......God Speed Robby
