Nasser Al-Attiyah to drive buggy built by own team Dakar 2013

Sounds like Nasser took a liking to the Hummers. Vehicle features listed are pretty much same charactoristics that make the Hummers unique. Can't wait to see the reliability of his own brand new vehicles are :)

"The two buggies will be powered by a seven-litre Chevy V8 engine and the lightweight machines will benefit from longer suspension travel and an electro-pneumatic system that can adjust tyre pressures from the cockpit, which is ideal when switching from rocky ground to sand dunes"

cool.
it would be great if he does get the two buggies up and RG had 2.

Better than watching some girly minis!!

He is a dick, but he has mad skills and doesn't let off. Starts his own
team cuz he aint a team player. Sounds like someone we know hahhahahah!!

cali based team..... hmmmmmm?

hope he does some testing in baja in November :)

Red Bull, make it happen!!!!

The guy is fast, fast, fast. He just does not seem to want to do anything other than drive. Does not seem to understand that things can break, and maybe his driving style contributes to the breakage. There will be problems just from being a new Team. Seeing his reactions, how he reacts to all that, and because it is his Team could be pretty fun to watch.

What is the over and under on number of on-road "discussions" between Robby and Nasser.

In "Dust to Glory" Alan Plueger put it really well "any dummie can hold it to the floor it's knowing when to slow down that makes you fast" Nasser hasn't figured out that last part!
