Rear View Mirror --The 2014 Dakar

Hey Guys,

This edition of RVM is all about the Dakar Rally.

Tell me about what you would build and run , if you had a chance to participate in the longest, most arduous race in the world.

I’m also still hitting the January Rivals events and am looking to see messages from you about how bad you beat me. Probably won’t be too many of those though. :()

I would love to build a KTM motorcycle. I think it would be an absolute hoot to go blasting across the desert on two wheels! What a RUSH!

Yet another awesome read! Some pretty sweet videos, too. Those trucks are unbelievable. Thanks a bunch for the Mines R32 Skyline, it is one of the best drifters in my garage, lets see if the R34 is just as good.

As I said in the old forum, another edition of the Dakar, another year of Spanish dominance.

7 Mini in the Top 10, that’s a great result for a little car.

Another great read John…

I am not too fond of the Bikes in this Rally but I do love the Mini’s-----flying thru this in a mini is a Must.

This sport kind of looks scary to me. And I remembered this thread had many more replies. Did everything get revamped for the new forums?

FH Unicorn: Honda CRX

Please and thank you.

If I could do a build, I would build a 2006 Subaru WRX STi or a Dodge Ram trophy truck. I love Dodge Rams :slight_smile: Great post!

Like I said in the forums of old. The compilation of the trucks passing through the cities was amazing!

Races like these are very interesting… I would call up Jessie James and ask if he would custom build a beast unlike anything seen before :smiley:
Looking forward to the next topic/read, take care!

I would have to follow you in building a truck. A Cummins diesel sucking 50 psi would do just great through that sand keeping those wheels spinning on top of the sand. I have never really watched Dakar until seeing these few videos in the RVM. Those dudes on bikes and quads deserve their props for putting up with that abuse!

I would run my real life ride: Toyota 4Runner (2003 V8). Not great on gas mileage but absolutely rock solid, reliable and does well in tough terrain and conditions! Also at least mildly quick for its weight (it’s heavier than it looks).
