Robby and his team are so professional and devoted. I love it! Robby is freaking fearless and seems like a really good guy. I wish Robby and the entire team the best of luck and at least a podium finish! Go ROBBY GO from Canada!!!!!
Robby Gordon has already become a popular sight down here. He's the showman everyone waits for at the start. Seeing that orange dot followed by a dust line coming down the desert, everybody knows that's the man and people start cheering! It really takes a badass to win the Dakar, and although talent is a must, luck plays a big part. I'm a total fan and l hope he doesnt get discouraged with the years.
Good Luck Robby! from Argentine Robby Gordon has already become a popular sight down here. He's the showman everyone waits for at the start. Seeing that orange dot followed by a dust line coming down the desert, everybody knows that's the man and people start cheering!
The first thing people need to realise about Dakar is its not all about 'winning' but actually 'finishing', AND being there at the 'end' after enduring those gruelling days & nights. Privateers I wish you the best of luck for the forth coming 2016 event. Robby, all the best buddy, you deserve it this year, but as we all know its in the lap of the gods......
+Jamie Ogden I think the top teams would disagree with you. Many racers are happy to just finish, that's true. But I bet you Robby Gordon and other top competitors are only concerned with winning the thing.
Well Robby Gordon I want you to win the Dakar rally...... beings I am from Kenya..... and I love the Baha rally and the safari rally... but it’s nothing compared to what your up against. God speed with your competitions moving forward
YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!!!!! ESTOY ESPERANDO PARA CUANDO PASE POR SALTA ARGENTINA Y PODER SACAR UNA FOTO A LA GORDINI HAMMER QUE ES ESPETACULAR, BIENVENIDO A ARGENTINA, Y ESTOY MUY EMOCIONADO Y FELIZ QUE NUEVAMENTE PASE EL DAKAR 2015 POR MI PROVINCIA. YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!! Robby Gordon
Una de las críticas que hice sobre el "Gordini" fue su poco desarrollo antes del Dakar 2014, le faltó más horas de desarrollo por lo que acusó su bajo desempeño en esta prueba pero ahora por lo visto estoy convencido de que ahora estará para dar la lucha y romper el monopolio de los europeos en el podium, suerte para este Dakar 2015 y saludos desde Arica-Chile.
Este año no solo tiene a punto el Hummer, se armo el mejor equipo de trabajo. Apuesto a que este año estará entre los 3 primeros puestos, éxitos Robby.
Maybe I see things too simple but, considering Robby Gordon's experience, I would have changed the conception of the Gordini quite a lot *WHAT ROBBY HAS* · Trophy truck experience · NASCAR experience · Indycar experience · The whole SST organization · Access to quite a lot of information and money From that starting point, which is quite good, I would try to really use all that to his favor. Also, the fact you can access to a lot of information nowadays makes it easier to find what you should try to "copy" or adapt easily if you have the resources. Next step then: *WHAT ROBBY NEEDS* · A good balance between power and fuel consumption (bigger fuel tank, bigger ballast) · Reliability · Easy-to-repair · Inside comfort The first two points are kinda related in a way. Since the objective is to build a car that is a bit like a trophy truck but narrower and shorter you must use a smaller engine. Considering the current Dakar Rally regulations, you do not need great power so a 7000cc or 8000cc engine is out of the question. If it was me I would go for 6000cc (more or less) and around 500hp when in race trim (that will also help lowering the engine temperature). Next is the need for an easy-to-repair car, it is widely known that the easiest world-class racing car to repair is possibly the Audi R8 LMP, the multi-time winner of the Le Mans 24 hours. That car is in a few museums (at least one in the USA) and you can find lots and lots of information about it in books and the internet. Finally, nothing is more comfortable offroad than a pre-runner and Robby owns a couple of them. *HOW TO DO IT* Prepare yourself early (start before April), try to fit the pieces and prepare the easy-to-repair stuff A LOT since you do not want your crew to work non-stop all 13 nights plus the rest day. Mechanics turn wrenches, they are not night owls or athletes and they will not stand 2 weeks like that. Also, you cannot be fully rested when you are supposed to rest or even sleep inside a 22000lb truck *FINAL POINT* I know it is not easy, I know I might be seeing things a bit too simple but I truly think Robby Gordon can do it if he commits seriously. No more being a show-off or just making people cheer for you. That can bring some money but the trophies and the BIG money are behind the results. I really think Robby can do it but I am starting to feel that if he does not fully commit before 2017 his time might be over (at least as a driver!)... :-/
I think he needs a 4wd with Independent Rear Suspension like what has won the Dakar for the last 20 years or so. Driving on rally roads with a live axle sux as much as driving in dunes with 2wd (excepting buggys with special sand tyres).
Ric James There's a problem with that. 4WD in the *Dakar Rally* means only 12 inches of suspension and your engine has to come from a roadlegal car With 2WD you have unlimited suspension and your engine can be a full-blown prototype if you want to (remember you also have to cover at least 500 miles on each tank of fuel, whether it is on sand, dirt or road)
Sin dudas el y nasser al attiyah a los cuales tuve la suerte de ver pasar en los enlace son los más carismáticos los que por mas cansado que vallan siempre conservan una sonrisa para el público por ello son a los que siempre quiero ir a ver para ellos lo mejor y a rubby tuve la gran suerte de estar a la par de el cuando paro a cargar combustible en el 2014 en acheral tucuman
It was never a Hummer to begin with. The rules in the Dakar say that if the car looks like something that is being mass-produced, you have to put the engine of the same automotive group · Looking like a Hummer means you can use a Chevrolet engine · Looking like a MINI means you can use a BMW engine (the Mini All4's engine is a BMW 3500cc diesel one!) · Looking like a SEAT means you could use an engine from Volkswagen, Audi or even Lamborghini! · Looking like a FIAT means you could use the engine of a freaking Ferrari! · Looking like a Dacia means you could use the engine of a Renault and maybe even the engine of a Nissan (remember the Renault-Nissan agreement) The problem with powerful engines in the Dakar Rally is the lack of refueling. Only motorbikes and quads have officla refueling points every 150 miles more or less. Cars and trucks have to make each day of racing in one tank (although some teams have sometimes located local gas stations and have fueled their racing vehicles with pump gas or diesel!) so the teams have special fuel tanks of 60-120 gallons for cars and way over that for trucks
Why do they call it Dakar when it is in South America and doesn;t even go to Dakar Africa anymore. Stupid. The only real Dakar Race is Africa. Rename it something else. Lame.
With this technology and the huge support truck would Robby Gordon be able to win Dakar 2015 ? Sometimes it is not what you have but what you do with what you have whatever humble it is. This reminds me that Argentina with much less military technology almost defeated the British military in the Malvinas war (Falklands) Argentina would have won if NATO with the UK and France veto to export Exocet missiles. The argentinian pilots with limited missiles were 2 weeks away from winning. NATO embargoed Argentina from buying further French made Exocets. The Gordini better deliver the goods and services.
such a shame it's going wrong for him again this year. Hopefully he can still win some stages later on. The speed is there, he just needs a more reliable build and some more luck.
all I see is chaos.. if your car is in a million pieces and you haven't even figured out something as basic as how to seal the car two months before it's packed up you're losing even before you start.. the competitors are it testing and getting everything sorted while you're still welding and figuring thing out. No wonder he can't win.
ABo MALA C'est surtout les journalistes français qui sont sur France 4 qui n'arrêtent pas de le critiquer en ne le prenant pas au sérieux alors que son écurie est aussi pro que Peugeot, Mini, Toyota, SMG etc... Gordon a peut-être fait des conneries par le passé mais il semble avoir murit depuis.
The French press will try to kill whatever that is not French. Just look at their views on Marc Coma, Nani Roma, Carlos Sainz, Nasser al-Attiyah and all the rest!
Carlos your a joke for being so negative...follow who you want...which is probably no one you troll....50 years...yeah RGM started building what his own off-road Dakar truck a few years ago...give me a break. No factory support. Facts are louder than your nonsense. CLOWN
Vincente Vargas i'm not a clown because we dont have the same mother...... and thats the same reason for all you can call me.... screaming and ofensive words only prove you are wrong....

Well good luck, Robby.
We hope you make it to the finish line this year. Must be harsh loosing to a Mini.
And don't get caught cheating again.
suerte robby este año ya que ahora se ve mejor preparado el gordini.que ganes hermano
goodbye Hummer :'(
It was never a Hummer to begin with. The rules in the Dakar say that if the car looks like something that is being mass-produced, you have to put the engine of the same automotive group
· Looking like a Hummer means you can use a Chevrolet engine
· Looking like a MINI means you can use a BMW engine (the Mini All4's engine is a BMW 3500cc diesel one!)
· Looking like a SEAT means you could use an engine from Volkswagen, Audi or even Lamborghini!
· Looking like a FIAT means you could use the engine of a freaking Ferrari!

That damn Hummer wasn't very good luck to him. I hope this time he gets closer and not have as much technical difficulties as in the past.
Why do they call it Dakar when it is in South America and doesn;t even go to Dakar Africa anymore. Stupid. The only real Dakar Race is Africa. Rename it something else. Lame.

hablas de combustibles que se consume y estas mandando y comentando por pc eso también viene del petroleo
THE BEST .. HI-TECH .. FREE FOR ALL .. UNLIMITED .. AMAZING .. MADE IN USA
this Robby Gordon boy BORN TO BE A RACE CAR MAN with super kills
such a shame it's going wrong for him again this year. Hopefully he can still win some stages later on. The speed is there, he just needs a more reliable build and some more luck.
en mode dakar
all I see is chaos.. if your car is in a million pieces and you haven't even figured out something as basic as how to seal the car two months before it's packed up you're losing even before you start.. the competitors are it testing and getting everything sorted while you're still welding and figuring thing out. No wonder he can't win.
French press criticizes always him.
don't read french press they'r stupid. He bring great show to the dakar and in France he have many supporters
ABo MALA C'est surtout les journalistes français qui sont sur France 4 qui n'arrêtent pas de le critiquer en ne le prenant pas au sérieux alors que son écurie est aussi pro que Peugeot, Mini, Toyota, SMG etc...
Gordon a peut-être fait des conneries par le passé mais il semble avoir murit depuis.
Et ce qui compte pour nous c'est le spectacle et de belles autos. Donc on ne peut que l'encourager. Parce que bon la horde de mini ça vas un temps....
ABo MALA Tout à fait, j’espère aussi que la domination de Mini sera stoppée cette année.
The French press will try to kill whatever that is not French. Just look at their views on Marc Coma, Nani Roma, Carlos Sainz, Nasser al-Attiyah and all the rest!
hes a rocket man, but he cant finish a race
🤑🤑🤑
Funny guy but without chances on Dakar !
chevrolet ? *o*
Screw the perfect powder coat. Get priorities straight.
Just don't die your hair jet black at 50 something... And expect to not get roasted for it.
lol again being beaten by a mini...
no chance with that piece of shit truck...... see the last 50 winners....
Carlos your a joke for being so negative...follow who you want...which is probably no one you troll....50 years...yeah RGM started building what his own off-road Dakar truck a few years ago...give me a break. No factory support. Facts are louder than your nonsense. CLOWN
Vincente Vargas ... you call me a joke but then you have the trouble of responding me?.... american people are so insecure
Vincente Vargas i'm not a clown because we dont have the same mother...... and thats the same reason for all you can call me.... screaming and ofensive words only prove you are wrong....
Exactly your from the opposite side...Stars and Stripes baby...keep sipping' that HaterAid
+Vincente Vargas i know .... when somebody doesnt agree with your bullshit you call them haters.....lol..... dumb fuck
