WILL RG MOTORSPORTS DEVELOP AN ALL-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE FOR FUTURE DAKARS!!!!

Its early, or way to early in this years race,but I believe 2010 is the last year the Hummers will beable to race Dakar. Do you think RG will want to build an all wheel drive version of the Hummer for future Dakars to come. I also fill that with the possiblity of an overall could he get the Factory Support from a Major Auto Manufacture?

I had just thought I heard his wheel travel, hp, and design was not going to be a class after 2010.

Same class really (T-1) They had a SCORE open class but RG sits well within the T-1 set of rules. As you can see the 2wd and 4wd T-1 rules are pretty even.

Have you ever seen a National Rule Book that specifically calls out one racer's name??? The FIA regulations calls RG's name out specifically...LOL

Fly - is this true? How does it refer to him? Anywhere we can see that? Pretty interesting.

4wd equals no suspension. I think max is like 10 inches. Robby tried that with VW and wasn't impressed if you remember.

Actually he said it wrecked his back & he wouldn't do it again. Thats why he built the Hummers, with the intention of winning.

I do agree with you for the most part. However , Robby wants to win. Let's not forget that. Winning a stage or 2 I do t believe shows the world American engineering is great. He needs go try to win it. Not worrying about driving a Desert truck because he races one here. He can still show the rest of the world American engineering and design is great by building a new All wheel drive truck. You know it . I know it. I'm sure Robby knows it. It's time to do it. Build it and he wlll win. I'm 100% certain he won't loose any of his flair that we all enjoy just because it's 4wd and others have 4wd too.

Thanks for all the comments, and I fully understand why Robby does what he does, had only thought this was the last year for this car design in the Dakar Sanction.
