Dakar rally sarts Sunday January 4th!
« on: December 28, 2014, 10:04:28 AM »
This year, I want to see as much of the coverage as possible. It's being covered by NBCSN. According to their web site, coverage will start on Monday Jan. 5th at 4:30 pm eastern time in standard definition and in HD an hour later. The schedule only shows the programming for the first week but, I assume it will continue for the second week as well. Please share any information you stumble across. This race is very cool, if you haven't checked it out, you should!

I just got this off  of fourwheeler.com , about Robby Gordons Dakar attempt this year.

In total 665 vehicles will begin the 2015 Dakar Rally, with Gordon and navigator Johnny Campbell among 138 entries in the car class. There are an additional 164 in the motorcycle class, 48 quads and 64 trucks. Fifty-three nations will be represented in the field, with Gordon’s effort being the only entry from the United States.

I hope that not right, one entry from the USA???  I hope there are at least a couple bikes from my home country.

Don't get me started on the Dakar!  I will try and find time to keep up with the F5irehose on ADV.  This is the PRE event thread which will end in a day or so:

The F5irehose will begin with the race:
