Anyone into Paris-Dakar?

ViperLover · Jan 14, 2004, 1:22 AM

Yeah, I know it's a bit late to post this but, does anyone here likes the super-fantastic Paris-Dakar?
In my humble opinion is the ultimate race-adventure of all times, don't you think the same?
And it's the only racing event in where a femme has all the authority to compete. Just ask Ms. Klainsmicht. (Sorry, I'm not sure how to spell it...)

Yeah, Gerard De Rooy for victory in the DAF. DAF forever

. He must defeat those Tatra's and Kamaz'

I really try to look every stage, and what are the standings.
And it's Jutta Kleinschmidt :wink:

I've heard that Paris-Dakar is one of the hardest races...

CarRocker · Jan 14, 2004, 10:19 AM

Then you've heard that correct. It's a rally from Paris to Dakar(or else they wouldn't called it ParisDakar) through the Sahara.

I'm a fan of Dakar, i would give anything to compete, even if had to race with a bicycle! ! !

Unfortunately here in Greece the only way to watch it is through Eurosport or cable, i don't have cable so i have to go with Eurosport and they r only sawing snapshots.

i'm following it and Mitsubishi all the way!

I am following Paris dakar to!

I think Fabrizio Meoni was the world best Motorcycle driver!
He is already 46 years old... and has Very bad knees!

Respect for him!

I'm for the Dutch trucks, De Rooy's!

Can anyone remember the DAF TWIN truck? Racing across the desert with 245 km/h?

Bye!
