The Monster X-Raid Mini Countryman of french duo Guerlian Chicherit and Michel Perin testing ahead of the Dakar start.

Check out the double coil-over-shocks; the guards on the front wishbones and the massive underbody guard!

We've been promised a video interview after every special, so it should be really good coverage! Heres an interview with the BBC a few weeks back

You can also help Craig fill the financial pit that is racing the Dakar by purchasing a cool supporters t-shirt from his website. You can also sponsor a few k's of race distance on the site.

Stylish design, high quality heavy cotton 10% polyester T, not overly flash in a '2010 grand prix motocross GP extreme paint splatter fashion', suitable for most 'casual' occasions.



(PS. Adventure-Spec will be shipping these out so they will go out during the event. Hey you could have them in time for the podium moment!)
 
For those who use Twitter I have created a Dakar-Rally list with 9 feeds so far and will add more as I find them.

You should be able to find and follow it on: @Wreford/Dakar-Rally
 
I like the idea of a solo buggy as you have to drive and navigate

One of the guys at work has a 2wd buggy, very similar to these. Looks like a lot of fun, but only has a 600cc bike engine in it.

Seems to have all the drawbacks of a bike and a car, with non of the benefits...
