2017 STAGE 9

SALTA- CHILECITO

January 11th 2017

This is just going thru the motions, the stage has been CANCELLED
Nearly 1,000 kilometres to cover during the day, including a small half in the special stage with 98% off-road for this timed section. This will be the toughest test for the navigators, who will play a decisive role. The verdict of this day could mark a turning point in the conquest for the titles.

977km

no race, take the day off from DAKAR

One US fans can follow is Martin Prokop,a Czech driver with a Ford F150 Ecoboost, currently 14th overall.

But Martin does not have EcoBoost power, he has a Coyote 5.0

@Robert , how about showing me the engine rules for class T1.1 that Martin is racing in ? Hint, no petrol powered Turbo's

Maybe you can explain to me , how a modified production Ecoboost has a V8 engine. No mention of a V8 anywhere?Other F150 Raptors have a V8 engine, but not this.
"Specifically, Martin Prokop will get behind the wheel of a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, a beast that already frightens with its series specifications:
2,500 kilos of weight
3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine
More than 400 horsepower
BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires with 17-inch wheels
Fox Racing Show Suspensions with 76mm Shock Absorbers"

Later on it mentions a 5 Litre V8. Must admit an Ecoboost doing so well, was a bit hard to believe . Anyway he is behind the Rangers and of course the Hiluxes

Is there a "definite possibility of a firm maybe" of a Robby Gordon entry for next 2018?
Is there any designs or information for 2018 DAKAR?
Rant Time.....I have been using the Netherlands site for tracking(again) because the live tracking of your favorite is junk on the DAKAR site. It hasn't been the same since moving to South America. I wish the DAKAR would go back to Africa.

Robby is working hard on many things right now.

If they are going to use more locations favourable to the Turbo Diesels. He really will have to rethink his strategy
