me rally mates from U.A.E are doing the Dakar in a Prado but they said they were starting from Paris on the old route to Dakar so i'm not sure what rally they're doing. The cost is $250,000 which I believe paid for out their pocket....rich folks in Dudai!
Steve : any clues what rally they are doing as I can't find any links to it.
Last time they did the Dakar was in 2009

all news to me! I thought there was only the Dakar in South America. Looks a fun route and a cost of $250,000 per entry I suppose pretty good value? The lads are running a Toyota, car #232. Ziggy used to run a 450BHP NASCAR engined Land Rover back in the 90's

A quarter million just to enter? Yikes! I hope that pays for a lot of expenses like transport, fuel, recovery vehicles, etc, for your car(s) in addition to the other logistics, emergency crews and other overhead for the race itself.

I think that's the total cost to do the rally but when you figure to do around 60km rally in CR the 4WD guys pay out around $3000+ then $250,000 is 10 years of rally in a few weeks. LOL

I love those car stands, though I'm not certain how they work. And dibs on the jacks!

The All4"s come with an on board hydraulic jacking system. Those jack stand are used in the service area. X-Raid team and MINI Countryman arrive in Buenos Aires
You can see in this link the jack in use.
That would be my equipment less the mechanic! LOL -
