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 was thinking Cadillac to or other GM. Listen to this. All wheel drive, 2 wheel drive he with have to make a choice. maybe one of each. It doesn't matter what engine you use .ASO will restrict it to around 300hp.GM makes the biggest Hybrid SUV on the market. Do what F1 did allow extra House power at the push of a button as long as it's electric.80 extra HP at the push of a button saved for when you need it most. hill climb and passing.GM can make the KERS work and what better way to promot it.For the 4x4 system look at the durability of the short track Lucas Oil Series.

KERS was a failure in formula one and is being scraped.I couldnt imagine it being used in the dakar.

it was heavily limited in f1, and the dakar rules probably only allow 1 engine or equivilent..
power wise its alot down to the resttrictor, the turbo diesels are about 8% bigger i think, so thats 8% more power, all things being equal...

Knowing how much Robby wants more powerand to some how to beat the restrictor rule I'm sure Robby has already questioned the possibilty of KERS.I'm sure he has had a hard time sleep the last few days thinking what can I do for next year.I think he should have both a 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive car in the race. which one will he drive...LOL Paul Menard That name sounds like a racer I've heard of.

KERS was a failure because it was restricted in HP and in time. If they loosened up on either, the Kers teams would have dominated and all teams would have been running it by seasons end.

Kers in Dakar would be more fitting then in F1. in F1 all engines are now 2.4 liter v8s no turbos dakar is anything goes.with a restrictor.There is a hydregen powered motorcycle in the dakar..this year Check SBS video extras..If a KERS could be used in DAKAR GM would be stupid to not use it to promote its Hybrid technology and new Volt on the world market. 4x4 or 2 wheel drive Escalaid V8 Kers Monster has a good ring to it.
