HST Shakedown

We know the pictures are old and we are getting the teasers later...but what do you all think about the vehicle not getting the proper shakdown before the DAKAR event?

I doubt this vehicle has ever even touched dirt.

I bet it was finished and tested weeks ago.

I am sure that this vehicle has been beat up bruzed and maybe even flipped a few times...The HST will make RG very HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

Frankly, I doubt RG would go to Dakar with a brand new vehicle without thoroughly testing it, including a good old-fashioned shakedown.

So I disagree, I think it very much has touched dirt.

Ever been to Parker Az.? Just asking, I have no knowledge of anything going in the desert near there.

I'm thinking the entire SST season was its shakedown

Maybe, but I wouldn't consider that a proper shakedown.

Let's just hope Stage 1 is not where it happens.

If you listen to that liveblog radio interview he said he hit 150 in the sand in a gordini.

At least that is what I tought he said so if that is the case I think it has been shaken down just a touch.
