Had to change the title of yesterday's post as I had mistakenly labeled the Belgium "Team Overdrive" as being the top ranked Nissan team...They're not...Team Dessoude from France is the top ranked Nissan team, is listed as team #312 and will be the 12th truck off the line in the initial stage...I made the error as on the entry list it shows Team Dessoude's vehicle as a "Proto Dessoude 05" and not Nissan...Not sure why this is but this vehicle is definately a Nissan, likely a Frontier/Navarra that is heavily modified. Engine is listed as a VQ40 is the reason I am betting on the Frontier/Navarra likelyhood...Just as an fyi, Andre Dessoude (for whom the team is named and who is the patriarch of the team) has been building and fielding Nissan rally teams since 1982...
Christian Lavielle is the driver of record for Dessoude's primary team and has an excellent record including wins at the Pharaons Rally (Egypt) and the Transiberico Rally (Spain and Portugal) in '08. They as well should have a strong showing...http://www.teamdessoude.com/specific/formats/index.jsp
