This is actually the car.





It was built as a class 1, sold raced as a class 1 and then Robby bought it back to run it as a Dakar car. UMI and and RGR worked hard to tune the engine to still have 450+ HP and meet the mileage requirements. Of course the body had to have working doors and A/C.

His win or wad style doesn't translate well to such a long race where navigation and common sense have as much a part of winning as the machinery. He did have Darren Skilton as his navigator and he is a Dakar vet. His radiator problems along with a driveshaft bolt ended up killing his chances at continuing.

By the way: he's running my tires.
