2007 Dakar

[5Speed]

again...mitsu paj rules Dakar....


this rally is one of the most gruelling test of durability, endurance, and performance for both driver and car..... if either the driver nor the car fails in the said test, they surely will not win this race....

Apparently, Mitsu did not rule Dakar in Modified Diesel 4x4.

Surprisingly, No.8 and Isuzu D-Max. First time sumali.

That's because the Pajero is gasoline.

Hmmm... VW has been kicking BMW's butt for the past two or three Dakars. Sayang... the BMW X5 was an amazing stock-bodied contender in the Dakar when it first came out. Maybe with the new body and newer engines, they can take that spot from them.

The real issue in the Paris Dakar is when a diesel vehicle will take overall top honors from the Mitsubishis. They're getting closer, they just didn't get close enough, this time.

The problem is yung turbo diesel powered Dakar rally raid cars aren't that reliable...Anyway maganda ang move ng Mitsubishi to stick sa gas powered cars.

Hindi naman... VW and BMW have been getting top ten positions (overall) for the past few years. Problem lang is the Mitsubishis are just too damn reliable compared to everything else...
