Good luck, Mick!

Sounding shattered

A-74M -- Mick's

Fri, 6 Jun 2008 15:41:00 GMT

Tantalizing news from the Dakar organization

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 22:12:00 GMT

In an email released to would-be participants of the canceled 2008 Dakar Rally, the ASO promise a "surprise" to be announced on Feb 4 at the Dakar.com website.

Stay tuned to RallyRAIDio.net for more details as they become available...

Nate

==================

The story continues. And this is just the beginning...

Itâs now three weeks since we took our leave from each other is Lisbon, still half stunned from the shock that having to cancel the Dakar 2008 left us all in. Given these unusual circumstances, our teams made it their priority to respond to the most pressing requirements, and to meet our commitments towards the rallyâs competitors. Our efforts were therefore focused on reimbursing registrations fees. This procedure is now coming to an end: for most of you, this was the necessary prerequisite to a new sports event.

Motivated by the legitimate demands some of you have made, and which we can guess others have, we have also been working on putting together new challenges. Your passion for rally adventures has tested our imagination: our prime mission is to make you want to want. Itâs in this frame of mind that we will soon be inviting you to join us at an event thatâs already close to our hearts. Listen out on 4 February, and visit [url]www.dakar.com[/url]. We have a surprise for you, and appreciate your confidence in us.

Etienne Lavigne
Director of the Dakar
