4x4 Action Group

Here’s a top 5 list of manufacturers that have won the Dakar:

1st - Mitsubishi - 12 wins

This record will probably never be beaten.


2nd - Peugeot - 7 wins


3rd - Citroen, VW & Mini - 4 wins each


4th - Porsche, Range Rover & Schlesser - 2 wins each


5th - Mercedes, Renault & Toyota - 1 win each.

I pay very little attention to that

How many of any of those vehicles actually has any parts used in production vehicles? Other than the badge?

6 of them.

There is a production class that’s not too far from stock, but it has no following because they’re very very slow to watch.

How many of the winners were SFA and didn’t have BFG tyres on?

2 of them.

None of them had road legal BFG tyres.

This is a good example of why SFA isn’t a good idea

All the Dakar trucks have SFA but then speed and SFA cannot be used in the same sentence

Nie regtig n kenner op hulle, maar is hulle?

Word die tatra nie geklasifiseer as n independent suspension met hul swinging half shafts nie?

Ek dink die trucks word elektronies gelimit op 150... sal nie daai goed wil sien spring op 200 nie...

That’s really solid axle as such then? I suppose it must be IS.

Die dif is bolted aan frame. Jou aste kan dus independent van mekaar op en af beweeg. Beide op, beide af, een op, een af. INdependent suspension all roand, in 4x4, 6x6 en 8x8 konfigurasie

Baie soos n beatle se swingaxle...

Pinzgauer gebruik ook mini weergawe van tarta. Dink tarta het hom ontwerp
