Go Gordon and Campbell!!! Team Speed!

I saw that. He came from the all dominating VW team, so I can sort of see his point. The rumor is he is trying to bring Citroen back to Dakar since he will be racing in the WRC for them next season.

Well, today was the day the wheels fell off for Robby. He has dropped back almost 20 minutes to the leader. Unsure if there was a mechanical issue. Also another team (Mini I'm sure) has filed a protest saying Robby is using the on board tire inflation system to feed extra air past the mandatory engine intake air restrictor to gain power. The stewards are investigating.
