rayhall Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 The 2011 Dakar rally is on the 1st January to the 16th January in South America (Argentina and Chile). We have one car fitted with the Vipec V88. This car was built in Hungary. It was tuned by Hrvoje Hictaler (Hic). Video of the car during testing Final testing of Mitsubishi Pajero with which we are going to start on Dakar 2010 was done on training ground near Budapest. Testing went very well, the car functioned perfectly and personally I am very satisfied with impovements done on the car since April race in Derecske. Improvement on the car was primarily done on lightening its weight. The car was tra nsformed into pick-up and we took off everything that was surplus. These actions resulted with 240 kg lighter car. Additionally, engine was completely reparated and electronic from RallyArt and MagnetiMarelli were replaced with brand new Vi-pec electronic. Besides completely new program was made for engine with 33mm restrictor ( till now 32mm). By doing that we gained some extra power and torque. This is the driver and navigator.

Guest Hic Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yesterday we had a big crash and we were unable to continue. BUT I can see that too many cars were off in that part of the stage and it looks like anybody who is able to continue is on todays start! So today, we start as 62nd! Yehaaa!
