Right. And Vladimir Chagin is Michael Schumacher's clone... :o
Let's concentrate on what is uniting us: 12-time Dakar Champion http://www.mitsubishi-dakar.com/global/home
It looks like the main problem for Mitsubishi team is the crew making one mistake after another... :-(

Oh wait...yes that IS a VW with the wheels topside. I think it's rolling around crying like a baby. Gotta feel for the guy when he was so close to nailing it...or not so much.

I recognize no interest for 12-time Dakar champion Mitsibishi team so far. Too bad for Mitsubishi Delica fanatics. I hope the recent rally picture of MRX09 will put more spirit on you!

So it is over now. Mitsubishi (Nani Roma) finished 10th :-( and Russian Kamaz team took 1st, 2nd and 4th places which made them 8-time Dakar champion. Too bad for Mitsu, they lost 3 of 4 Lancer's in the race. Well, as Roma said: "...But our strong point is our solidarity and the fact that we get on well with each other. So, until next year...” 8-)
I know why Russians are winning: they use special training machinery as shown below. :o
So, until next year...
