Jeeps don't do too well compared to the competition. Most likely this has more to do with support and deep pockets then anything else.

So how do those big support trucks handle offroad, looking at some of the pictures of them jumping and what not it looks like it would be a pretty harsh ride, not to mention being top heavy, i dont see how those things dont tip over
-
LOL Youve never been a really bored serviceman in a Deuce with no supervision and nothing to do I take it? Bwahahahahahah
The chase trucks have to be almost as fast as the race vehicles....

They are top heavy and they do fall over. The ride inside isn't that harsh though. They are designed for offroad and such up most of the bumps. They aren't just commercial trucks that are painted up. The HINO's really take on a transformation.

That's actually how the Truck category got started. Since support vehicles aren't allowed on the course, there are still support vehicles that are entered into the race. They carry spare parts and such for the bikes and cars. This is why you rarely see one vehicle entered per team. Robby Gordon got smart and entered two H3's.
BTW: Dakar Highlights are on right now. http://www.veemi.com/embed.php?v=BOMcbS6WdOLeIaJ&vw=850&vh=550&domain=mypremium.tv

Nothing like standing in waist deep water to watch a race. I forget it's summer down there.

The water crossing pictures are sweet, I think this is one of my favorites

Interesting, in the early show, they mentioned that BMW is going to phase out the X5 for the new Mini. They seem to be having a lot of issues but they aren't planning on winning, just finishing. The Mini looks a lot better as a rally car then a production car. I can see why they did it but Mini's are supposed to be small.

Yoshimasa Sugawara (69)is the man. He holds the record for the most consecutive Dakar starts at 20. Last year he was DQ'd but still ran it. He's been in 26 Dakar's though. His team Team Sugawara is the only entrant from HINO. Hino is the heavy truck division of Toyota. (light for the Dakar) His son, Teruhito Sugawara drives the other team truck. He's continues the tradition and has been in 13 so far.

Dakar 2011, 1st stage
January 2, Victoria - Cordoba
Special Stage (SS): 222km Connection: 566km
Twisty mountain course completed without event.
Full-blown competition kicks off at the 2011 Dakar Rally.
January 2, contestants traveled the section between Victoria and Cordoba. Competition for the 2011 Dakar Rally began in earnest at the 222 km SS (Special Stage) towards the last part of the stage. The SS for this day was almost the same as the course that lead to Cordoba last year, which was a single road with a hard gravel surface. Because most of this stage winds through twisty mountain areas, the road is narrow, which makes it difficult for vehicles to pass. There was little risk of taking a wrong turn in the course, but as evidenced by the increasingly slippery conditions caused by the rain that began to fall midway through the race and the many vehicles that slipped off course, this certainly was not a course that was suited for trucks. The SS for bikes and Quads took two shortcutsone at the 86 km point and another the 178 km point-and was 30 km shorter than that for other divisions.
HINO TEAM SUGAWARA, exercising no small amount of caution, completed this SS on their two HINO 500 Series trucks. Car 1 piloted by Yoshimasa Sugawara/Hiroyuki Sugiura, who raced at a deliberately cautious pace, finished this SS in 42th place in the truck division. Car 2 piloted by Teruhito Sugawara/Seiichi Suzuki completed this SS safely at 20th overall. The two trucks arrived undamaged at the bivouac long past sunset after 9 pm, and brought the team results that were in line with plans for the first day.
Yoshimasa Sugawara: This was a hazardous stage so I intentionally lowered our pace to get a feel for how things would go. My navigator, Hiroyuki Sugiura, and I work very well together so we have no concerns. In any case, I saw a large number of contestants in the top group stopped by the road.
Teruhito Sugawara: I feel that we've done everything that we had to and could do for the day. The rain had already stopped, but we came across extremely muddy conditions midway through the segment. I think the course was almost unchanged from last year. I am having a good time driving, thanks to the improved brakes and engine.
Seiichi Suzuki: There are absolutely no problems with the truck. It seems that the larger brake shoes are having a major effect. There weren't any navigation related problems, but the instructions we received from officials were very detailed.

So De Rooy is out for good? He was always a tough competitor.
So is the Panda the next Wrangler?

if they're entered as a Withdrawal, then they're officially out.
IIRC, the Panda was going to fill the niche between the Liberty and the Wrangler. So I guess it would replace the Patriot.

Steady as she goes for the Aussies
http://www.sbs.com.au/sport/bl...the-Aussies%3Cbr%3E#
05 January 2011 | 00:00 - By Jacob Black
Another rainy, muddy, slippery and accident packed day on stage two of the Dakar sees Jacob Smith on the cusp of the top 20, the Coconut Resort crew smiling, and Bruce Garland well inside the top 20 in the car bracket.
While others found the mud difficult, the Aussie young gun fired himself into 20th overall on the stage, and he now sits 21st overall. Still, the competitive New South Welshman says he could have done better.
“I was in dust the whole way so it was hard to pass,” Smith said. “I took it easy, but then just after the neutralisation zone I passed two guys.”
“But then I ran off the road and got stuck in a bush, so they got back past me and it took me 40ks to get back past them,” he explained.
“But it was good, I’ve moved up 20 places.”
Fellow GHR rider Mark Davidson had a small tumble today, distracted by a fallen rider, Davidson very nearly joined his colleague in the medical wing.
“I fell over today,” he smiled when asked how his day was. “A bit too hard really. A guy had crashed, and was lying on the verge of the road as I came over a crest, and I took my eye off the road to look at him and ran wide. His smashed bike was already there in the gutter so I ran wide straight into his smashed bike, and now instead of one there are two of them![smashed bikes]”
Despite the crash, Davidson made up some of the time lost in time penalties on stage one.
Geoff Olholm and Steve Riley have rapidly become crowd favourites on the Dakar. Their indelible smiles, constant joking and horseplay with the locals, and vivid orange car have generated a lot of interest in the duo. Geoff Olholm was typically positive as he explained his day.
“It was a really good course today, and being up closer to the front it’s not so wooped up and rutted out,” he explained. Adding that the calibre of the field is astounding. “Here, it’s different from Australia, there is a big roost just off the corner, just a big spray of rocks because those guys are hitting the corners so hard they’re just carving the course up,” Olholm enthused.
He said he saw plenty of carnage on today’s stage. “There were plenty of crashes out there, rollovers and smashes in the mud. We came along and saw one car getting dragged along on its side, it just wouldn’t turn itself back over!”
“I was sideways around some corners at 180km/hr, just sideways out of control, but then the next corner would be totally dry, it was incredible.”
Today was a long stage, with a total of just under 700 kilometres, and Olholm said that as well as co-driver Steve Riley’s vomiting, he too suffered from fatigue.
“I started to feel it a bit today, the fatigue because of the length of the thing, so it will be interesting to see how tomorrow goes, but i’m looking forward to it,” Olholm said.
Bruce Garland kept his usual sensitive head today, circumventing the dramas everyone else seemed to have and making ground. He repeated his commitment to a ‘steady as she goes’ approach.
“It was tight and twisty but a lot of fun,” he said, before taking a swipe at some of the front runners. “We got passed a few and a few got passed us, but they’re all going over the top up there. We just need to look after the D-Max and win our class.”
Simon Pavey is adopting the same approach, telling us that he made an effort to avoid the mud on today’s wet course. “I’ve got enough of that stuff in Wales,” he joked. A later than usual arrival at the bivouac was explained by a small fuel issue. “I had some sort of problem, hopefully it was just a blockage in the breather because it wouldn’t feed fuel into the front tank,” Pavey explained. “So I was pretty tight on time over the liaison.”
Still, Simon made it back, and says he’s looking forward to the challenging dunes and mountains that lie ahead.
“Today was fun, but tomorrow is the first ‘real’ day.”

Those buggies look like really fun vehicles.
Except when they're axle deep in the fesh-fesh. Tiny tires and no co-Driver means you're doing all the work. Today is the start of the desert portion of the Dakar as well. It continues to the end.

I've been following Chagin and Team Kamaz for several years now.
It's get complicated on what Team De Rooy drives. A few years ago he was driving a Ginaf with a DAF engine and a Iveco cab. This is a bit weird since Team Ginaf uses CAT engines. Now, I believe it's all Iveco.

Stage 4 Robby Gordon

Looks like Robby Gordon is racing like when he is on the roundy round tracks. He is always broke down or in the fence or crashed into other cars. :lol:
That would suck to prep for 11 months then have some breakdowns due to parts failure early on for a couple days.

I think he's more pissed that his water carrier passed him. That's they're job. They carry all of the spares for the lead truck. I'm not sure he he pulled out because he couldn't fix the truck or because he couldn't be in the top 10. I think it would be poor sportsmanship if it was the later. Have to wait and see if there's more info on that.

Spanish Article

Translation by Google
It is a journey in time, or that the clock has stopped in the late 70's. It is only the dream of a passion for vintage motorcycles, Ignacio Chivers, who will line the Dakar 2011 by riding a special bike, a Bultaco Frontera 370 of 1978.
Be the unique two-stroke engine found in this edition of the great desert race and its purpose, of course, is to take it to the finish line in Buenos Aires after two weeks of fierce competition. If successful, it will be the first time in history that a machine of this type achieve finish the race, demanding a veteran mechanics.
But Chivers is not a rookie in these conflicts. The Dakar is the culmination of three years of intense preparation for the challenge, which includes participation in Rally competitions such as the Pyramids of Egypt in 2007 (he won in the category of historic vehicles) or Rally Heroes and Legends', a replica of the old Dakar Africa next year.
La Frontera 370, a legendary motorcycle brand production, is perfectly preserved and ready for the race. An expensive project that is financed Chivite absolutely private. One of his sources of income is selling T-shirts commemorating the feat, which sells through the website www.jabis22.com.
The Bultaco embarked, with the rest of the issue in the French port of Le Havre. They passed without any problem preliminary scrutineering, heading to Argentina, where the owner expects no major incidents also complete the final. A look beyond this step, the adventure of a romantic Spanish love of motorcycles will begin to take final shape.

The Girls: Not all of them are able to compete in the Woman's Challenge. For that they need to be the sole rider/driver or with a female Co-driver. I'm sure I'm missing a few as there are a few navigators/co-drivers as well.

Did you see the dune at Stage 5?
Did you post it on page 4 of this thread?
That withdrawl list is growing! :yikes: Tough race!

Page 5 has the video. It's something like a 2 mile run from the peak.
I think there is maybe one or two more days that are considered tough for the pro's which is why they shortened the last stage. The Dakar is considered the toughest. You're not racing your fellow racers as much as the terrain. The Mini team wrecked because the driver lost concentration for a few seconds and flipped twice. He was an experienced Dakar driver.
Kinda sad to see the Bultaco bow out. Looked like the Fiat Panda also didn't make it.

Jonah Street Dakar Daily #15: Crazy Day For Street
January 12, 2011 at 10:32 pm by Matthew Miles
In Copiapo, the device used to extricate trapped Chilean miners from last year’s cave-in there was displayed at the Stage 10 bivouac.
After scoring the second Dakar Rally stage victory of his career yesterday, Jonah Street had a far less successful stage today. Navigational errors, an errant gas tank and equipment problems left the Washington State native struggling to maintain his winning momentum.
Here’s the latest, straight from Street:
“I had a crazy, crazy day today. I misread the road book and missed the first waypoint. It was a rookie-type screw-up—something I haven’t done in five or six years. By the time I found the waypoint and got back on course, [rally front-runner] Cyril Despres had just gone by, so I followed him into the sand dunes. The dunes were super tough. Then, we hit some sand hills—actually, sand mountains. It was really hot, and my Yamaha’s fuel system vapor-locked. I was stuck for quite a while. The bike would barely run, so I did a bunch of switchbacks to get up the last hill. Once I was over the hill, the bike ran better because I was moving faster and the airflow cooled things off.
“About 10 kilometers from the finish, everybody was lost. I got lost, too. I don’t think I’ve ever been that lost. It was really bad. I feel terrible, because I was with Quinn [Cody], and he was looking to me for advice. We were talking about things and making decisions together, but they weren’t the right decisions. It was frustrating, and I hope it doesn’t screw up his overall place in the rally.
“Once I got to the finish, calmed down and read the road book correctly, I was so pissed off at myself. I had been convinced the road book was wrong, but it was right. It’s not horrendous, because everyone was lost. But you can make up a lot of time by asking the right local where the course goes, and that’s what happened today. We finally figured it out and got through the special. As lost as we were, I was still the 20th bike to finish. Scoring is going to be interesting for the leaders.
“I thought the weird stuff was over for us, but on the liaison section at the end of the day, we rode 15 kilometers of silty road. All the service and support trucks were on it, and the wind was blowing. At one point, the wind changed a little bit, and I got dusted by a truck I was passing. It was so dusty that I had no clue where I was going. I hit something the size of a small washing machine and went down hard. Turned out to be a gas tank; it must have fallen off one of the service trucks.
“I got up, started cussing and threw the tank off the road. Later, I asked the guys in one of the trucks that had been running up front if they saw the tank, and they said, ‘Yeah, we saw it.’ So, I asked why the hell they didn’t pick it up. They didn’t have much of an answer.
“During all of this, a fuel line popped off. My foot started burning, so I looked down and saw the line leaking on my boot. Even though I had just filled up for $40, I almost ran out of gas; I had maybe a gallon left. Luckily, I was able to stop at the next village for some more gas to get to the bivouac.
“My wrists are kind of jacked up from hitting the gas tank so hard, but they won’t keep me from riding and finishing this rally.

Jonah Street Dakar Daily #16: Cruising After A Bruising

Jonah Street made a solid effort in the Dakar Rally today, completing the stage without any major mishaps. The course was brutal, though, and, on the heels of yesterday’s unavoidable crash and unfortunate navigational troubles, it took its toll on the American racer.
Here’s the latest, straight from Street:
“I’m very happy to be done with today’s stage. Getting through it safely was a great bonus. I cruised for most of the day. After yesterday’s crash, I’m terribly sore. Tomorrow, the stage appears to be a lot smoother. Hopefully, I can pick up the pace and grab some more time.
“Today was drama-free, which was nice. I didn’t hit any gas tanks, which was also nice. But the course was really rocky, and my wrists didn’t like that. At this point, I’m trying to avoid hitting anything that will take me out of the rally. I’ve settled into my position—unofficially 14th overall. My main goal now is to finish safely.
“I’m looking forward to wrapping up this race and heading home so we can get an early start on our program for 2011. We learned a lot about the race this year, and I have to say, based on the riding conditions, terrain and overall situation, this has been the toughest Dakar I’ve ever done.”

“I shot this picture of a guy working a checkpoint on the course today,” said Jonah Street. “He was actually working—in a banana hammock!

Only if you know it's ARB though. Otherwise, you wouldn't know who made that stuff. Interesting to see a Ford Raptor though. Seems to be doing alight. If it finishes, it will be a big achievement. Dodge will have to be able to back their Ram Runner up with some real results.

Hino wins the "Series Production Trucks" and "Under 10-liter" championships in the Dakar Rally 2011.
Also achieves 20 finishes in as many years, setting a new record for the number of consecutive finishes.
Hino Motors, Ltd. (Hino) competed in the Argentina-Chile Dakar Rally 2011 that was held from January 1 to 16, 2011 (local time). Hino won the championship in the “Series Production Trucks” and “Under 10-liter” categories, and also achieved 20* finishes in as many years, setting a new record for the number of consecutive finishes.
Hino entered this rally for the first time in 1991 -- the first Japanese truck manufacturer to do so -- and in 1994 and 1995, came 2nd place overall in the Trucks category. In 1997, Hino entered three trucks and became the first in the history of this rally to achieve a 1-2-3 clean sweep in this category. In subsequent years, Hino has won three 2nd place titles in the Trucks category as well as eleven championships in the Under 10-liter category over the twelve races since the category was first introduced in 1996, making it a force to be reckoned with in the truck division.
Continuing from last year, Hino has teamed up with Team Sugawara -- headed by Yoshimasa Sugawara who holds the record for the most consecutive entries in the Dakar Rally at 28 entries, and his son Teruhito Sugawara -- and took part in this rally as the HINO TEAM SUGAWARA. Hino dispatched five mechanics that were chosen from Hino Motors and Hino distributors to meet the challenges of this rally and reflecting the concerted effort of the entire Hino group.
As a result, amidst the 68 entries in the Trucks category -- many of which were either specially developed for racing or so-called monster trucks that boasted nearly twice the engine displacement of the HINO 500 Series -- Teruhito Sugawara won the championships in both the Under 10-liter category and the Series Production Trucks category, and 9th place in the Trucks category overall. Yoshimasa Sugawara won 2nd, 3rd, and 13th places in these respective categories.
Hino is committed to continuing to deliver products and services that meet our customers’ needs by leveraging the fighting spirit and technological capabilities which have been accumulated over the two decades since first entering the rally.

* Twenty consecutivefinishes since our first entry in 1991, excepting 2008 when the rally was canceled due to political unrest.
Shoji Kondo, Chairman of the Board, Hino
We are very happy with how we did in this rally as our rankings were better than what we had expected. Not only that, it was great to be in South America where the rally was actually being held and taking part in the excitement. For me, this has reconfirmed the importance of our activities. Being Hino's 20th anniversary of racing in this rally, I am convinced that there is power in continuity. I am very glad that we were able to continue thus far, thanks in no small degree to the passion of Mr. Sugawara and his team.
Tsunehiko Fujii, Senior Managing Director, Member of the Board, Hino
I would like to applaud everybody on the team. I believe this rally must have been one of the most difficult rallies from a mechanic's perspective, but thanks to their work, we've been able to maintain good rankings through the end of the race. It appears these results reflect the improvements that we've been making to our trucks, so I think it is within our reach to join the top group among the best 10 in the Trucks category. What an amazing achievement to come in at the 13th place at the age of 69! I was in awe. We have had visits by Hino's overseas distributors who cheered us on, confirming my feeling that the world is giving our activities credit. We are excited to continue this activity moving forward.
Yoshimasa Sugawara, Team Director and Driver, Car 1
Teruhito ran a great race to achieve 1st place, and I was able to finish the race. As much as I'm surprised at these results, I'm very satisfied. I am filled with gratitude for everyone's support. Thank you very much. In any case, I didn't think it would rain at the podium. I thought that was very South American.
Hiroyuki Sugiura, Navigator, Car 1
I was very happy to get up on the podium at the goal. It was exciting with a lot of people cheering on. I would like to thank chairman Mr. Kondo and senior managing director Mr. Fujii of Hino who came to cheer us on. I consider this to be the starting point in developing myself further as a navigator.
Teruhito Sugawara, Driver, Car 2
We owe a great deal to everyone's support for being able to deliver results under these very difficult conditions. I will not be sitting on our laurels of 20 consecutive finishes in the race, and intend to wash all such thoughts away just as the rain gave the podium a good wash. I am committed to taking on new challenges.
Seiichi Suzuki, Navigator, Car 2
I am very happy that both of our trucks finished and we were able to deliver results. While our trucks experienced no major problems, the coolant temperature rose on some instances regardless of the modifications we had made. So I got a real feel of the challenging nature of our endeavors.
Takayuki Monma, Mechanic (Overseas Parts & Service Div., Hino)
I'm very happy that both trucks ran a solid race without any major problems, and were able to deliver results. We were also able to redeem our disappointment from last year (when one of our trucks had to withdraw from the race). I'm very thankful to everyone's support.
Masayoshi Yamamoto, Mechanic (same as above)
I am very happy that we were able to reach the goal without event. None of us mechanics were injured, and I feel a great sense of achievement in that both of our trucks were able to finish. This was my first experience working on a rally site so I worked so hard. I also think that there were situations where my Spanish ability came in handy.
Takashi Sanno, Mechanic (Yokohama Hino Motors, Ltd.)
I had an understanding of how things would be during the rally, where day and night would be reversed, but I struggled as I found it hard to recover from my exhaustion. In terms of work, however, we never had to perform any major work other than taking apart the brakes over and over again. I believe this was because the trucks were refined to near perfection.
Hiroshi Hashiba, Mechanic (Ishikawa Hino Motors, Ltd.)
When I saw much lower trucks parked at the Parc-Fermes at the end of the rally, the fact that this rally was being staged under extremely harsh conditions really sunk in. As this was the second time for me at this rally, I think I was able to give advice to other mechanics on things such as how to set up at the bivouac. I am exhausted, but all that exhaustion just gets swept away once I’m on the podium. That feeling was the same as the last time.
Kenichi Suetsugu, Mechanic (Hiroshima Hino Motors, Ltd.)
I have been involved since September when the trucks were being constructed, so it's been a long time. At the podium, it really sunk in that we had made it. The rain poured down hard, but that'll be part of a good memory too. After having worked on the site, I felt that I got into the groove in the second week. I've noticed some areas where the HINO 500 Series could use some improvement so if I have another opportunity to come, I think I will be able to work more efficiently.

Hino in the Dakar Rally
Hino Motors, Ltd. ("Hino") participated in the Dakar Rally (then known as the Paris-Dakar Rally) for the first time in 1991, as the first entrant from among all the Japanese truck manufacturers. Its truck achieved 2nd position in the overall Truck Division in 1994 and 1995. In 1997, after undergoing reinforcement to aim at an overall victory, Hino became the first to dominate the top three positions in the overall Truck Division, an unprecedented finish in Dakar Rally history.
The team has continuously participated in the rally as one of the top teams in its division; for example, it has come in 2nd position in the overall Truck Division 3 times. Moreover, it achieved 7 victories in the under 10-liters category between 1996 and 2002, since this class was established. This class was abolished in 2003, 2004, and 2006. Hino won victories in 2005, 2007, and also in this 2010 rally.

Dakar 2011: The World's Most Dangerous Race
By Aaron Nelsen / Copiapó
The prevailing image of Chile's Atacama Desert is desolate — the mountainous moonscape where 33 miners were trapped underground for 70 days last year until their triumphant rescue. But the driest place on earth has another side. A miraculous sea of flowers blooms there every few years when rain does fall. And this month, for the third straight year, the 16-day Dakar Rally, arguably the world's most prestigious, grueling and dangerous marathon off-road race, or "raid," is winding much of its way through the Atacama, turning it into a deafening, carnivalesque roar of hundreds of cars, trucks, motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles. "Seeing [this] up close is the maximum emotion," says Gines Pulgar, who drove 3,000 km (1,864 mls) from southern Chile this week to follow the endurance epic, which ends on Sunday in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
What South Americans like Pulgar thought would be just a temporary spectacle could become a permanent, and lucrative, fixture on their continent. Until a couple years ago the Dakar, first held in 1978, had been a European-African rally raid, run from Paris to Dakar, Senegal (with vehicles ferried across the Strait of Gibraltar), and back again. But terrorism concerns in North Africa, which forced cancellation of the 2008 running, prompted the race's overseer, the French Amaury Sports Organization, to find a new locale, at least provisionally. (See pictures of this year's Dakar rally. (http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,2042615,00.html))
Argentina and northern Chile offered the right, challenging terrain — free of security threats — and the rally picked up again in the New World in 2009. This year it's a 9,618 km (5,976 mls), 13-stage odyssey that started on Jan. 1 in Buenos Aires. It headed through the sierras that separate the two countries, looping through the Atacama to Chile's Pacific coast, and finishes back in B.A. on Jan. 16. The drivers and riders locate designated points with little more than maps and compasses. (Comment on this story.)
Some of the rally's most exciting moments have come in the Chilean desert, near the dusty mining town of Copiapó — the only city to play host to legs of the rally all three years it's been held in South America — where the punishing sun and topography have put numerous entrants out of the running. This year's 9th and 10th stages were a tortuous route of mountains and dunes from Antofogasta, Chile, through Copiapó and back into Argentina, forcing out veteran drivers like Team Hummer's Eliseo Salazar, 57, of Chile, who blew his transmission in the soft sand. "It was brutal," he says. But the region "is the heart of the Dakar," says Nicolás Noman Garrido, governor of the Atacama province. "I won't even speculate about the possibility of [the rally] not returning next year." (See pictures of a half-century of Daytona.)
Indeed, rally officials confirmed on Friday that next year's Dakar will be held again in Argentina and Chile. "South America has projected the Dakar in its popular historic dimension," says Dakar Deputy Director Frédéric Lequien. "Argentina and Chile are most welcoming territory for the Dakar... and for them [the race] is a global showcase."
So much so that Peru, Bolivia and Brazil have expressed interest in hosting a stretch of the Dakar themselves. That's largely because the showcase brings cases of money. There really is no prize to be won in the Dakar; the more than 400 teams that participate do it not for cash but cachet. But many of them, with power sponsors like BMW, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen and Hummer, and famous racers like NASCAR and Indy 500 star Robby Gordon, spend millions of dollars for the souped-up vehicles, crews, equipment, transport and lodging a serious run requires. "This is a rich man's sport," says Roger Willis, one of a dozen members of Gordon's Hummer crew. (Mechanical failure forced Gordon to drop out last week near the Argentina-Chile border.) Argentina paid $5 million to host the Dakar this year — and expects to see a return of $170 million. The region around Copiapó expects 15,000 visitors spending almost $10 million. (See pictures of the Chilean miners.)
In stark contrast to the opulence of the big-name camps that pitched tents outside Copiapó — and whose trucks open like garage doors revealing replacement tires and myriad drawers full of neatly labeled tools — is the thrift of off-road enthusiasts like architect Juan Carlos Unzue. Like most South America racing fans who never thought they'd see a rally of Dakar's caliber held there, Unzue, 48, sold a plot of land near his home in Villa Constitución, Argentina, to finance his lifelong dream of riding alongside the world's best racers. He's fallen from his motorcycle twice, and he was even robbed in broad daylight waiting for a light to change in Jujuy, Argentina. Still, he's beaming. "I ran across somebody on Robby Gordon's team," says Unzue, "and he told me, 'You have bigger balls than we do, you're out here without a team.' They couldn't believe it."
And for good reason. Each stage of the Dakar is a slow weeding-out process where vehicles break down irreparably; drivers break limbs, lose their bearings and sometimes flirt with death. (In fact, 49 Dakar racers have been killed in its 32-year history.). That drama fascinates locals like Pulgar, a seaweed packer, who's brought his son in their purple 1955 Ford to catch every turn of the Dakar in Chile. Their lips are chapped and faces burnt. But, says Pulgar, "I didn't want to miss my chance to experience this with my son. I didn't want to say the Dakar was here and we missed it." Chances are the world's top rally raid will roar through their backyard for years to come.

Dakar 2011: 1st, 1st and 1st. Again
by Cassio Cortes on Jan 16, 2011
http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Article/Dakar-2011--1st,-1st-and-1st.-Again-021242947843565
It's a strike rate of 100 percent. Since the Dakar rally moved from Africa to South America back in 2009, no one but Red Bull drivers and riders have stepped on the top step of the podium in the event's three main categories.
This Saturday (Jan 15) in little Baradero in Argentina, home to the finish line of the 13th and final special stage, that perfect record was maintained by Nasser Al-Attiyah, Marc Coma and Vladimir Chagin.
Perhaps happiest of the three was Al-Attiyah. The Qatari showed in 2011 the consistency to back his well-known speed and clinched his maiden Dakar triumph in the Car category aboard the Red Bull Volkswagen Touareg. He becomes the first Arab ever to win the famous enduro.
"Winning the Dakar had been my dream for a long time, and now it has finally come true," celebrated 40-year-old Nasser, who took control of the race during Stage 9 after rival and teammate, 2010 winner Carlos Sainz, got stuck twice on soft sand – arguably Nasser's natural habitat given his Middle Eastern origins.
"Since 2009 I felt that my dream was coming closer, and that in every rally with Volkswagen I was learning a lot," added the Arab, who joined the squad with a reputation of being very fast but sometimes error-prone.
"This year it showed: I had just one flat tyre during the entire rally, versus six in 2010. I never drink any alcohol, but maybe (co-driver) Timo (Gottschalk) can open two bottles of champagne today!"
Sainz found little consolation in winning most stages (six) but ending up third overall: "This was a very hard Dakar for us," said 'El Matador', who fell out of contention for back-to-back victories after losing one hour repairing his right-front suspension on Stage 11.
"But Nasser and Timo did a great job and took a deserving win. I've been in this business for 30 years, and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. The important thing is to keep enjoying it."

Also boasting a tired but exuberant smile at the Autodromo de Baradero was KTM rider Marc Coma. The Spaniard not only took his third career Bike win in the world's toughest rally, he also tied the number of victories of the man sometimes referred to as his "best enemy", fellow Red Bull and KTM rider Cyril Despres, who finished second overall.
"We won it when we didn't lose it," Coma insightfully summarised. "That's what the Dakar is all about: trying not to make any mistakes and taking advantage when the competition makes them."
"We made two little mistakes over 15 days, and in the Dakar that's the difference between winning or not," Cyril admitted. "Of course I would have preferred to win, but at least we made it to the finish on the podium for the eighth time."
Finally, another in-house duel, this time at Red Bull Kamaz, saw Vladimir Chagin clinch his seventh career Truck victory prevailing in the battle with countryman and teammate Firdaus Kabirov. The Russian also brought his total of career stage wins to 63, a record among all categories.
It's a testament to the challenges presented over 9500km by the Dakar that no driver or rider has achieved a three-peat since the event switched to Argentina-Chile. Below the list of winners 2009-2011 - all Red Bull athletes:

Stage-by-stage results
The world famous race, moved from west Africa to South America over security concerns, was won by Qatar's Nasser al-Attiyah on Saturday. The race ended officially in Buenos Aires on Sunday.
French race director Etienne Lavigne hinted the race could be opened to more countries in South America.
"Every year we try to build on a new idea. We're thinking it could be good to open the race to other countries while including Chile and Argentina," Lavigne said after being asked if next year's race might end in Lima instead of Buenos Aires.
But the Frenchman said decisions would be taken from March and "everything depends on the authorities in those countries."
The prize giving at the Obelisk in central Buenos Aires was brought forward over warnings of an impending storm in the Argentine capital on Sunday afternoon and relatively few spectators showed up.
The other winners at the end of the gruelling 16-day race were Marc Coma on motorbikes, Argentine Alejandro Patronelli on quads and Russian Vladimir Chagin in trucks.
"Now the world will know where Qatar is," said Al-Attiyah, draped in Qatari and Argentine flags, possibly forgetting his country only last month won the right to stage football's World Cup in 2022.
"I'm happy with Argentines' support and I thank them," he said while his Volkswagen team mate, Spanish former world rally champion Carlos Sainz, had to settle for third place having won the race last year and despite winning seven stages this year.
Fellow Spaniard Coma, winning his third Dakar motorbike title, said: "I was never able to relax because one stage finished and another harder one followed. The Dakar is very tough but this victory is the prize for all our work."

Dakar Rally Fuels Cheers And Jeers Across South America
By SHANE ROMIG
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704511404576086673982114718.html
BUENOS AIRES—The Paris-Dakar off-road rally stirred it's fair share of controversy in West Africa, but with the security threats in Mauritania, it switched to Chile and Argentina a few years ago. Now the polemic pinnacle of off-road endurance racing is kicking up a new cloud of dust and passions in South America.
Many in the region are thrilled to host the world-class event, but there's a growing chorus of critics as it becomes clear that the security threats are not just to the participants, but to spectators and environment.
The danger of hosting the race struck home last week, when 42-year old farm worker Marcelo Reales died in Argentina's Catamarca province after Argentine rally driver Eduardo Amor smashed head-on into Reales' truck on a rural road. That follows the death of a spectator in Argentina last year and French motorcycle racer Pascal Terry the year before.
The Dakar has resulted in over 50 deaths over the past three decades. Several years ago the Vatican newspaper called it "the bloody race of irresponsibility."
But that does little to dampen the enthusiasm of many Argentines. Thousands of cheering fans lined the highway leading in to Buenos Aires on Saturday to welcome the racers back. A teenage boy sitting in front of his mother's small general store in the suburb of Ingeniero Maschwitz Saturday had spent the afternoon camped out by the roadside to watch. "Did you see them?!" he asked rhetorically, eyes wide with awe.
Argentina has a new home-town hero in Alejandro Patronelli, who won the quad race despite a broken hand. "It's incredible," the champagne-drenched racer said following the awards ceremony in Buenos Aires.
With traffic deaths all too common in Argentina, many residents dismissed the race's risks.
Most don't blame the racers for the lapses, said Ronaldo Hoffman, a 24-year-old body-shop mechanic and racing fanatic in Buenos Aires.
Spanish motorcyclist Jordi Arcarons, a long-time race veteran who's made the podium half a dozen times, said "Africa is unforgettable, but there's the same spirit here."
"People were cheering, helping, and offering water all the way," said Sweden's Annie Seel, who had a disappointing race but was the top lady finisher last year.
"Safety is a big focus for the race, but "you can't have extreme sports without the risk," Mr. Arcarons said.
But some in Argentina are saying that those risks are just too much.
The race "could only be done in the third world. No developed country would allow it," said Raul Montenegro, professor at the Cordoba National University and president of the environmental defense foundation Funam.
Funam has published online a series of pictures of the Dakar cars and trucks running roughshod along the highways between stages, literally driving other motorists off the road.
It's the environmental impact that is really stirring up resistance from a number of non-governmental organizations.
Critics say the remote highlands of both Argentina and Chile, which provide such a stunning backdrop for the race, are particularly sensitive to the surface damage caused by the thousands of wheels tearing up the arid topsoil.
Llamas, condors, ostrich-like nandus, flamingos and the reclusive cousin to the llama, vicunas, scatter when the massive convoy rumbles through some of their last natural habitats. The race also barrels through areas dotted with archaeological ruins from the native cultures that thrived in the high valleys before the arrival of the Spanish.
Former environment minister Romina Picolotti opposed the rally coming to Argentina when she was in office in 2009, but the contract had already been signed before she took the post. "The Dakar looks for a place where they know there's no control," Ms. Picolotti said in an interview. "Let them do it in France."
Ms. Picolotti's husband, who is a strategic advisor to the environmental NGO Cedha, said that a big part of the problem is that race participants are used to the lawlessness of Africa. "Dakar is a free for all...anything goes and people die."
"They are treading on our laws, our environment and we're paying for it," Taillant said.
The governments of Chile and Argentina bear significant costs in terms of fire control, providing lodging and medical car to the participants. The payoff comes in the marketing boost to tourism from publicity of the countries' remote natural treasures to a world audience.
A total of 430 cars, motor bikes, quads and trucks with drivers from over 51 countries participated in the race this year, but the grueling pace saw about a quarter of the teams drop out.
The Dakar rally has been running since 1979, when the initial route carried participants from Paris to Dakar, Senegal. The rally was held in Africa until 2008, when it was cancelled due to a threat from Islamic terrorists.
The French origins of the event remain, with the Amaury Sport Organization now running the show. Over the past 30 years it's evolved from just a small number of well-heeled adrenalin junkies looking for the ultimate off-road challenge, to a largely professional event drawing sponsors from the top car-makers and a global television audience.
