Can you add some weight handicap to that land rover please! It's a long way ahead of a competative bunch.

To be honest I don't think that would help, even if I chucked on a load of bags of coal on the back 
On reflection it was better suited to be classed as a Ninco vehicle, so probably not a wise choice on my part allowing Ninco chassis's to be used in the Dakar Sprint.

I thought I'd made a mistake, even trying to build it. Quite a tall vehicle, so expected this to be a disadvantage, so plenty of ballast to hold it down. 
I thought I'd have done better with Spirit Peugeot 205, with its 4wd and drop arm mounted guide. Also had a Ninco C4, in mind. The Ninco Pajero chassis under a Focus WRC was also considered.

I can't believe how well the Landrover is doing, must be beginners luck, on my first ever raid event!!
