We had a feeling this was going to happen. Here at oneighturbo.com, the mood is “angry”. Not at the ASO, Dakar, Volkswagen or any other competitors.. one word.. terrorist!! You guys completely suck!
Now we understand your point of views, religion etc. but stay the %&^# away! Get a life. Play with yourselves. Buy an XBOX360 and play COD. See how good you are then.
Do you not realize this is getting old. Boring. Look at the bigger picture. Get a book about the Universe. Look back at Earth and realize how small you and everyone else is. Understand that there’s way more out there than you could imagine. Jump on the “green” wagon and do good. Plant some trees. Make some biodiesel. Buy a Volkswagen, Audi or Porsche SUV and drive it fast over your land. Enjoy the speed. Find ways to support your people rather than blow em up!
Leave the Dakar alone! A good amount of us look forward to this every winter!
Jump in and let the terrorist know how you feel in the comments.
It is with great regret that Volkswagen acknowledges the cancellation of the 30th Dakar Rally. “The safety of every single participant has absolute priority and for this reason Volkswagen completely and utterly endorses the decision made by the organisers ASO to cancel the start of the Dakar Rally originally scheduled for 5 January,” explains Dr Ulrich Hackenberg, Board Member with responsibility for Technical Development at Volkswagen. “We are obviously very unhappy about the cancellation, since we prepared for this rally for an entire year and were extremely well equipped for this sporting challenge.”
Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen underlines: “We fully respect the decision for safety purposes, which also have absolute priority for us. The cancellation is a great disappointment for every member of the Volkswagen Motorsport team, particularly as everybody was looking forward to starting this peaceful and fair sporting competition.”
At midday on Friday, 4 January 2008 the “Dakar” organisers ASO officially announced that the rally will be not be held due to the significant safety concerns voiced by the French Government regarding the stages in Mauritania. The start of the 30th Dakar Rally was scheduled for 5 January 2008 in Lisbon. The “Dakar” should have finished, as is tradition, after 15 stages and approximately 9,300 kilometres in the Senegalese capital city on 20 January.
