Dakar 2007

Schelsser 3rd in overall so far!

VW, Nissan, BMW and who knows what other works teams are at least 30 minutes behind him. He is almost 60 yo, builds his car in small workshop and beats works teams of biggest car manufacturers!

Long live privateers!

If he wasn't an arrogant, anti-sportsman, Schumacher-like driver, I would be happy for him, too.

Maybe a litle bit like schumacher but I admit him because he builds his own cars and somehow manages to be in the top, at his age!
My favourite is Al Atayan who is after Schlesser. I feel sorry for the guy thet had a fire in the engine do, he was doing quite good but that´s Dakar
