    Sorry to tell you that all the DAF's did not pass homologation!
    Jan de Rooy is so furious now that he has said that he will build 15 Trucks of his own to his own specs. and that he will finnish 1st 2nd and 3rd next year.
    The man from from FIA or simmilar that promissed to homologate the trucks for DAF did not come through and was on holliday can you believe it?
    Anyway we have a reasonable amount of dutch drivers on motorcycle,cars and trucks. best ranking at the moment is hans stacey who is 3rd in the trucks ranking.

    Oh man...THAT SUCKS!
    I bet Jan was ready to kill something. He has been doing the race for so long (Since 1982 I beleive) "De Rooy TRANSPORT". I bet PACCAR was also not too happy about that situation. It's amazing how one person can srcew up an entire race team effort....THERE SHOULD BE A LAW!

    Thumbs up Dakar

    Hi Guys,

    Nice pickup! Actually one of my friends is in the race too with an Opel Frontera (That is also an ISUZU clone). He was in the first 40 but I hope he will finish in the first 30.

    Looks like Team Isuzu is having a pretty decent showing:
    Car #349 (w/ Orioli driving) is now in 35th place overall in the car/suv class.
    Car # 350 (w/ Auriol driving) is not fairing so well, they have dropped to 291st place.

    Cool! Don't forget Isuzu won the Marathon class in a nearly stock Trooper back in '94.
    Over 20 years of Isuzu enjoyment...

    BOTH ISUZU trucks are out and finished with the DAKAR race.

    A Valiant effort....but it was not to be

    Australian Bruce Garland has been competing a VX in the UAE Challenge race for the last few years. These photos were taken in Nov. 05.
