Wow. Didn't realize they are out of Dakar all-together. That should really open the door this year.

Is the BMW team still factory supported?

Yes, though the Mini team (10 cars)

If I recall correctly, the mini didn't perform th well last year. Of course, with former winner Peterhansel driving one anything could happen. I'm just happy Sainz isn't running this year...

Carlos Sainz on this years Dakar, translated and mangled by google-

Marc Martin - Do you think the struggle for victory in cars will be between Peterhansel and Roma? Carlos Sainz - most likely. MM- What can depend on that one is in front of another? CS-I think that the mechanical factor will be key . Who will have less mechanical problems have gained much. MM- Does this struggle with the current defending champion Nasser Al-Attiyah? CS- I think that Al-Attiyah could join Peter-Nani match depending on how you respond to your Hummer. MM - What about the recent addition of co-driver Lucas Cruz Al-Attiyah? CS- I think it's a good signing for both. MM- What is your forecast for the Dakar on a bike? CS- will be again a struggle between Coma and Despres, and what could be classified as an 'eternal grief' . MM- Who of those two think you have more options? CS- I trust much in Mark MM- In the truck Pep Vila finished 6 th in 2011. Have you set the bar too high? CS- Pep was a very great career in 2011 and with Iveco De Rooy team will do well . MM- Kamaz Are Unbeatable? CS- No, but they are far superior. MM- ¿ I lived Carlos Sainz 'no' to the Dakar 2012 Volkswagen? CS- was a disappointment for me, I always thought I could find a solution but in the end it was not possible . Anyway you have to respect the decision of the brand. MM- Was there the possibility of running the Dakar with another brand? CS- No. MM- Will he return to Carlos Sainz Dakar? CS- I would much, really. MM- Are you working to return in 2013? CS- still too early for that but I shut that door.
