It’s half the nascar season in 15 days, the race is a navigational nightmare, there is no GPS equipment and no course pre-running, the Baja 1000 is maybe 1 1/2 long Dakar Rally days in comparsion! It’s like running from Ensenada to La Paz and back 15 times with a rest day in between. The Dakar it’s the toughest endurance race in the world. It’s the last true form of endurance racing! This are some of the words by Dakar competitor Robby Gordon. Since his very first Dakar Rally 2005 in a Volkswagen Touareg Robby Gorden strives to achieve the ultimate goal of any racer: winning the event and become victorious. He has won specials, he did lead the Dakar several times but no victory so far. Gordon feels that his team, Robby Gordon Motorsport is prepared the best every. With 2 Dakar winners as new team mates in the second Hummer-look-alike Buggy, last years winner Nassr al Attiya as driver, and former Carlos Sainz navigator Lucas Cruz as his co-driver joined Robby Gordon’s effort.
