Gordon takes on Dakar

Short video of  what it means to be a die hard fan of rally.

Some fans risk bodily injury to see the cars come flying by, literally, during one of the stages of the Dakar 2013. This particular video is of American Robby Gordon and the air he gets is amazing, taking into consideration that the race has fourteen stages and is some 8.500 km long.
Usually a driver is required to nurture the car whilst participating in an endurance race. There is a saying for this: "In order to finish first, one must first finish".

I guess no one told Robby Gordon this, as he lines up the hummer perfectly and keeps his foot on the pedal.



If you are not familiar of the Dakar Rally, please click here for a 3 minute video on Robby and his Hummer.

Even tough Gordon didn't win the race he finished a couple of times in the top three of his class and won it twice.

Thanks for reading.
