2015 Dakar - Prelude To Stage 1

It's getting close to the start of greatest race in the world, the 2015 Dakar Rally! In the days leading up to the start of stage 1, there will be many events taking place. Robby Gordon and a few #TeamSPEED members have already arrived in Argentina, and the remaining crew will arrive around Dec.30th.


The guys will pick up the support trucks and the Gordini, then they will setup the #TeamSPEED compound and work on the vehicle leading up to Scrutineering (Tech inspection). Scrutineering takes place from January 1st to 3rd in Buenos Aires. On Jan 3rd, the teams will parade to the 'opening ceremonies ramp' and all the drivers will be introduced. There will be links to the "LIVE TV FEED" available on Jan. 3rd.


Stage 1 begins on Jan. 4th, 2015. As always, we will have live raceday chat, stage threads, in-action updates, photos, videos, etc. The "official" #TeamSPEED daily stage videos will be hosted here as well. The guys on the crew will also be sending us updates from the frontline.

and maybe they have to go back to the hotel to get a spare?

I find it a stretch that they would leave without the wheel. Kinda obvious, no?

Yeah, I doubt that they would make it all the way to the podium, only to discover that they had forgotten the steering wheel.

@MTG, that I believe was media and Robby was showing him the dash. That's all. Robby was holding the mic and showing him the layout

It appears Robby was showing the media guy, the new vise-grip steering option ......

They are saying Robby doesnt have the steering wheel. I dont know where he left it. Last night when we leave the car at parc ferme and headed back to hotel he had it on his hands.
Maybe he forgot it at the hotel. But they have a spare on the truck.
