Beating the Mitsubishi's and Luc Aphand will be a major achievement. Kleinschimdt has switched to the diesel BMW that did very well last time. For the bikes, nobody seems to be able to challenge KTM, aswell as Kamaz for the trucks. Cann't wait for those helicopter camera shots over de Sahara...
It's great stuff, I loved to watch any parts of this rally. There's isn't really anything that compares and I doubt that many here can actually relate to it.
I wonder if there is any channel at all to show some of it, I'm not a TV person, so I wouldn't know.
Here's a little Wiki-info:
