Good Dakar Preview on Alfie Cox...

Just a brief article on Alfie Cox and his SA built Navara (Frontier) that will be racing in a few weeks in the Dakar. Just finishing outside the podium last year (4th and 5th), it will be tough
match that success. With an experienced driver at the helm, however, some solid, race experienced vehicles on hand and Glynn Hall overseeing the effort, putting two Nissans in the top ten is not unreasonable though the VWs, BMWs and Robby Gordon's Hummer remain the clear favorites.

One has to wonder just how much of an impact the penny pinching and final closure of the South African Nissan Motorsports group will have on these racers. Has the effort truly been there over the last six months? Is Glynn really on the ball or is his head over at Toyota all ready? We'll find out soon...
