Gas. This isn’t true. SxS have always been limited.

ok sorry for the confusion. I wonder what RG meant when he mentioned something about a new speed limit in that pod.

I read the rule. It has no specific verbiage about that limit applying based on which class you're racing in. There's a similar regulation for trucks but you're not going to find a workshop on wheels competing in the car class.

I would have interpreted that as only applying to the SxS class.
Either way I'm sure the ASO has reworded it so it applies to SxS's in the car class now.....convenient

They have always been afraid of Robby every sence he showed up with the hummer. don’t forget factory millions are spent for a trophy. Under dog stoies aren’t good for the factory effort.still laying ground work for textron and the future.lets be the best sxs in the Dakar and work on the rules for next year long way to go yet
