Right. And Vladimir Chagin is Michael Schumacher's clone...
Let's concentrate on what is uniting us: 12-time Dakar Champion

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...”
I know why Russians are winning: they use special training machinery as shown below.

So, until next year...
