we'll add a "spoilers" alert here on Jan 1st, 2022, I guess ... :ride

we hope to have a few Dakar Rally Viewing Parties at the SFMC this year, with Ace Cafe Rob showing us some Eurosport coverage.

I always look forward to the Dakar Rally, but this year is going to be a bit lacking for me. My gal, for the first time in 11 years, is not going to be competing on a motorcycle. She will be there on 4 wheels, though, so I can still cheer her on in her X-Raid Mini :party
 
enjoyed this ... I usually root for KTM (and Mr Petrucci in '22!), but may need to cheer for Husquvarna a bit. :flag

speaking of Mr Petrucci:

I'm rooting for Danilo. Really like that guy.

Audi is also developing the high-voltage battery in-house, which will be charged by the four-cylinder engine developed for DTM.

“This engine is incredibly efficient and state of the art in terms of weight and consumption,” says Roos.

“The important thing is: our drivetrain is fully electric. The TFSI engine is only used to charge the batteries on the special stages. The battery has to be charged while driving, as there are currently no other options to do so in the desert.”

Audi notes that it plans to run fully electric on all the liaison stages."

love Mr Branch, and watching Mr Van Beveren, so smooth on his Yamaha.

Yes, think they're both back with Monster Energy Yamaha Rally Team for Dakar, 2022.

Mr Kalahari Ferrari won this year's Rally Kazakstan:

Ross Branch takes first at Rally Kazakhstan
Two podiums for Yamaha, with Van Beveren in third.
