Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.
I second that... I think they stand a chance with the fact they are running with diesel's. I reckon that the torque at low revs could be a very handy advance...Originally Posted by Zytek_Fan

So it apparently was caused by inexperience I read in my newspaper this morning. So should the organization do something about this ? For example let all drivers do a "exam" and show their skills ?
But on the other hand,new drivers might not get a chance. What do you guys think ?
It's what the organization thinks. Perhaps some sort of exam could be a solution for the victims. But on the other hand (and this might sounds harsh), the deaths in the Dakar are part of the rally's charm...Originally Posted by drakkie
If you look at it from a human and safety point, a test should be restricted. But then you get the thing about the inexperienced drivers not getting a chance... I think they should stick to the current situation. It has been good for almost 30 years, so why shouldn it be changed...
