Can't wait!

Saturday 24 November 2007

The team
- Buggy 1 – Michel Turon-Barrere (Fra) & Jean-Marc Monbieg (Fra)
- Bremont Buggy – Mark Dutton (UK) & Troels Henriksen (Den)
- Toyota HDJ80 – Joël Clevenot (Fra) & Jean-Marc Ayala (Fra)

- Heavy Truck – Yann Clevenot (Fra), Michel Etchecobar (Fra) & Frank Puchouau (Fra)
- Santana Assistance – Gérard Chanoine (team manager) (Fra) & Jérome Hardy (Fra)

The Bremont Buggy is racing with Team Omega. This will be Omega's 3rd Dakar in a row. In 2006 things came to an abrupt end in Stage 7 when they drove the car down a well whilst on the Liason stage at the end of the day - very frustrating. BUT in 2007 they finished - both the Buggy and the Toyota - albeit that an engine problem forced them to do most of the race at 50% power - but they did it.

They are very confident of a strong finish and have put together 2 tremendous cars incorporating all of their learnings from the last 2 outings.
