2013 Pre-Dakar Rally Discussion

As of 12-4-12, there has been NO ANNOUNCEMENT from RGM about it's plans for the upcoming 2013 Dakar Rally. The entry list at Dakar.com is NOT the final entry list. With the rally starting in Peru ( instead of Argentina ), it's almost 3,000 miles closer than past rallies for shipping the vehicles. I believe we should hear something official very soon. Keep in mind some of Robby's 2012 Dakar plans didn't take shape until late November / early December 2011.

You would think if Robby didn't have plans or something in the works to attemp Dakar he would just come out and say he's not going. With hearing the support vehicles are in SoCal and the Hummers can fly out from anywhere, lets hope it's just a matter of "doting the I's and crossing the T's" and we will have a Merry Christmas Planet style!

Scratch #315. #329 the only spot left I believe.

I was just on the competitor list.
#315 was still unused... .02

That was kind of strange, while looking through the competitors list I was just looking for vacant numbers. #329 was the only vacancy. I did not notice the name for #315. Now #315 is vacant again. Then I read the post above mine. Was Robby Gordon listed in the #315 car slot?

Not the final entry list.

So is he going solo or there might be a teammate that looks like the Fiddler on the Roof?

perhaps when the team makes an 'official' announcement, all questions will be answered.
