Thousands (yes, literally thousands, this isn’t an exaggeration) of novices have competed and finished Dakar without incident, but because one got caught by a kicker it’s a problem and they shouldn’t be allowed anymore?

I’m hoping that the comment section will be completely free of sexist / racist comments about stereotyping particular types of drivers.

For those itching to make the joke: please don't.

well, there is one better scenario we can hope for - Evans will back out - or will be backed out - and Chris Harris will be the lead presenter. Because when the Clarksons are out there with big money it is clear it is going to be anything but serious. And BBC is clearly not keen to go the “crazy car show route” again…

I’m confused, what’s wrong with anything that was pointed out?

It’s Pascal!Cool dude. Crew for Team O. Rallies/hillclimbs a 900 spg when he can.

Indeed, all older pictures of racing vehicles show heavy leaning due to weight transfer of the driver’s iron balls in corners.

The mention of Fangio necessarily makes me think of my grandpa.

The GP2 champion gets a belt? Maybe that’s his problem. He thinks this is wrestling.

Why wasn’t this up on Kinja’s daily deals? I think the eCommerce team is slacking...

So does this mean they have $498.51 left in their LeMons budget?

That’s slightly more than what I paid for my boat ($1.38)...NP.

So as I read this article I am thinking to myself... This asshole journalist didn’t mention how much it was bought for... 1.49 million?... Billion? Then I realize step isn't a asshole, it was a fuggin DOLLAR AND FORTY NINE CENTS! I could have owned the company! I would have paid maybe 4 bucks... Their loss...
