The good news about this is that the VW's will probably be further restricted next year. The down side is the hummer could be too. When Dakar was still Dakar if a team dominated the rally/podium they faced further restrictions next time. Hopefully it will not affect TDUSA as it was apparent they were restricted enough.

the downside of course being that the BMWs were extremely fast and will face no penalty. And the Mitshubishis were out of contention early with their new vehicles and they'll be back in force next time around.
