[doctorrobertsondc]

Thanks for representing our sport! Now get some Class 12's in action :D

[ghost9431]

how much do class 1 cost

[doctorrobertsondc]

@ghost9431 ... New ones deep six figures, plus spares, and then entry fees, chase expenses, etc. Gets expensive quick. It's a million dollar sport that's for sure. You can find used ones on race-dezert for $50k to $100k. But the costs involve more than just the car.

[ghost9431]

@doctorrobertsondc i saw a new one sell for like 200k i mean trophy trucks cost like 250k for the truck and like 10,000 to race each time

[milk282]

Awesome.

Just like motostorm

[decjko]

In DiRT2 they've included Herbst, Ickler, DeJong and Porter (PRC) buggies for Landrush and Raid races. Also their easy to do drifts

[jharms1994]

are the fans on the back of the cockpit for driver/navigator comfort... or do they serve another purpose?

[WickedGravityVideo]

@jharms1994 fans are the radiator fans... radiators located for better airflow and won't be damaged in crashes or bumps with other vehicles. Drivers and navigators get really hot and uncomfortable in the summer months

[Hoshimaringtone]

@jharms1994 lol i thought you were talking about people fans, and i was like wtf?

Why the hell are these not in the Dakar rally??????

[WickedGravityVideo]

good question. I think it is because the Dakar has more restrictive vehicle categories ---- USA has two unlimited classes.

Also, doing Dakar is an enormous committment of time and money - not that USA desert racing is cheap!

[jp3d2k]

@SCRTChannel Robby Gordon got third in 2009 in his 2wd hummer tuck. The dakar courses seem to favor cars that are sort of a mix between a wrc rally car and a baja racing truck. Baja trucks are faster through really rough poorly maintained roads and big woops, but shorter travel awd cars corner better on graded dirt/gravel roads.

BimboWatch...what you ran back in the 75-80 is now class 10.

[BimboWatch]

Class 1 ?? When did SCORE start allowing cars with 2 occupants in Class 1 ??

[aaron9696024]

when they started the class.

[BimboWatch]

When? What year? I raced class one for 5 years (1975-80) and it was only single seat & unlimited HP in class one.

[FaithFrames]

Lol, I have a feeling that aaron9696024 was not even born back then, hehe.
