REST DAYTeam Repsol Mitsubishi Ralliart will begin the second week of the 2007 Dakar Rally in a somewhat unusual position, attempting to win the event from behind their archrivals. In recent years the team has led the off-road rally at the rest day mid-point. But the 29th edition is already one of the toughest. This year’s event is shorter than previous years and that has placed a greater emphasis on speed. Mitsubishi knows that its strength lies in sand dunes, camel grass and really harsh African terrain, but that has been scarce so far. But Dominique Serieys is confident about the coming days: "Our rivals have started very well this year and have pushed on every stage. We have suffered some minor setbacks and it was a bitter blow for ’Nani’ Roma to lose so much time. The next two days in the sand dunes in Mauritania will be critical.” Mitsubishi have already proved that the new MPR13 version of the Pajero/Montero Evolution has the pace and development to bring the a 12th Dakar triumph. "I have every confidence that the team can still win the Dakar Rally this year," said MMSP’s Team President Isao Torii. "I am confident in our team’s experience." |
