Dakar 2013 info and dates for DStv [thread]

Standard engines for all

The main change requires drivers to present cars which are equipped with engines from production models. Only certain parts may be modified, according to a protocol which is precisely defined in the technical rules of the race.
Air restrictors: a tool for adjustment

In order to encourage acute competition at the very top of the race, decisions may be taken about the diameter of air restrictors used in the different categories. Although the main provisions in the technical rules are set for three years (for engines), the possibility of intervening in relation to these restrictors may contribute to re-adjusting performances from one year to another.

All the dates supersport got now.

So all we get is 30mins of footage repeated several times a day?

 

[upup]

30 minutes with ads = 20 minutes coverage.

Thanks, I feel better now.

Dstv coming to the party again.. like every year.

Disappointing as usual. Highlights are great, but maybe some discussions / alternative content (classic/2012/etc) / 1 or 2 live pieces would be a great addition.

Dakar organisers did update their iOS (search 'Dakar Rally 2013) / Android apps, but unfortunately the iOS app is not available in the SA store..

Would be nice to have a program as how they build/ developed their cars.
