Title: Dakar Rally
Post by: Bengt_Phorqs on January 08, 2010, 10:18:52 AM
As many of you may know the Dakar Rally is currently going on in Chile.  I was watching the daily report last night and found myself wondering what kind of cars can rip through that rugged terrain like that.  As it turns out they are Bowlers, made in England.

Now you too can have your very own Bowler.  Just click on the link and collect the entire set!

What station are you getting the daily reports on?  I sure miss the full coverage we used to get back in the old days of SpeedTV.  Then the coverage went to TheOutdoorChannel which became Versus.  Don't know where it is these days...

Aida, we're on Time Warner cable and it's being shown on Versus once or twice a day.  Yesterdays 30 minute report was on around 3 or 3:30pm CST.  I haven't seen a schedule for today.

Versus on Verizon Fios 'round here.

Wish I could talk myself into springing for the DiscoveryHD channel; there's WRC, Euro Speedway races and many other niche racing coverages.

Thanks Bengt! I'll have to keep a closer eye on Versus.  We always enjoyed watching the Dakar - although I hear it's not even in Africa this year... :-?
