The F5 Bivouac (rallye raid news) and W2RC - World cross country rally championship

Classic tradition is timeless !



and chicks dig em....





I wish Acerbis still made them they are kind of hard to find now

Those handguards are still easily available here in Italy (around 44 euro), maybe the spoilers not so much and only in black...

Among the cars, after Peugeot, Mini, Toyota and RG there isn't much attention left to be doled out to others.

Still available in Greece too, a little bit more expensive.
Factory people try to save wait from every single part they can, but I guess some of the choices are rider preference (or sponsorship...) cause some guys run open handguards.

On the BRAKEeeeeee for the girl . . . . . . . . .

FYI the Acerbis wind deflector fit in to the Zeta hand guards .

Sainz: "We have to postpone the testing for a couple of weeks, we have some small issues and the team prefers to wait," he said.

Instead of running on smoother gravel roads in central France, Peugeot will head directly to Chateau Lastours, one of Europe's preferred rough gravel test sites, in the south in a race to get the development back on track.

Sainz added: "To be honest, we are a little bit running against the watch now. I cannot say anything about the problems for the car, but it's just small things things. But sure, the time is coming less now."

Sainz drove the car briefly late last month at an initial shakedown close to Paris.

Maybe they had problems getting the bondo/body filler to stick to the cracks in the kevlar panels, after they tipped it on it's ear during the shakedown...?

There are a lot of trick parts on that bike.
I hope it all works better this year.

Is there any information about the riders?

On thier FB page
https://www.facebook.com/beta.boanoracing?fref=ts

it's written they are looking for one very good rider to have a chance
of a good final result. No names so far, on the other side the bookings have closed 2 days ago, so games are done..

Johnny Aubert signed with them to do the WEC and I believe he made it clear he wanted to do the Dakar. Obvioulsy not a podium contender, but neverthelessa front runner if he goes.

Getting a bit confused - I thought he was signed up with Toyota to drive the works pickup

Just a play thing

Without a doubt, but him saying he is looking for a good car for the next Dakar isn't going to thrill Toyota too much!

Possibly from before he signed up?

Don't think so, the video was from this last week if it was at the Baja, ah but what the hell, Nasser could change his mind several times between now and January

The provisional entry list for Dos Sertoes is up, but no Barreda, a bit of an odd one seeing as he is lying 2nd in the World Championship.

There have been some reports of him pulling out of the Baja Aragon with an injury?
