In this second stage of the 2012 Dakar, the X-raid team had a early start and a long way to go to join the start of the special stage. After the big fast bends negotiated on firm ground, the entrance is a backdrop of the dunes which ultimately slowed down all of the competitor's progress.
In the stages end, it was Monster Energy's Stéphane Peterhansel taking first, Krzysztof Howowczyc took third, Nani Roma fifth, Leonid Novitskiy eight and Ricardo Leal dos Santos taking ninth. Current overall is Stéphane Peterhansel in first and Krzysztof Howowczyc in third. Stage 3 is next from San Rafael to San Juan.

San Rafael (January 2, 2012) - Stage 2 of the Dakar Rally was successful for Team SPEED; Nasser Al-Attiyah came from a 38th-starting position to win the stage on corrected time while teammate Robby Gordon finished third. Gordon now sits second overall in the rankings. It is the first time that Team SPEED had two HUMMERs on the podium for a Special Stage finish, making it a historic day.
Competitors started early this morning, taking them from Santa Rosa de la Pampa to San Rafael, for the 487 km liasion and 290 km Special Stage. The terrain presented during the stage proved to be very suitable for the HUMMERs. The big, fast bends on firm gravel roads allowed Gordon and Al-Attiyah to quickly maneuver their way to the front.
Robby Gordon in his No. 303 SPEED Energy/Toyo Tires HUMMER started out strong being the fifth car off the start line and headed straight for the lead. In a few kilometers, he set a good pace and passed Peterhansel for the lead. After the first way point at KM110, he maintained a 9 second lead.
Nasser Al-Attiyah started out 38th, but quickly picked off the other competitors one by one. By the first way point, he was already up to 12th position. By KM180 of 290, he was only 2 minutes and 40 seconds behind the leader, putting him in sixth place and in a position for a strong finish.
Unfortunately, Gordon slipped to fifth place due to a tire puncture. After a fast wheel change at way point 3, he was only 3 minutes and 34 seconds behind the leader, Peterhansel. Once he passed the 231km way point, he had lost some even more time, falling back to the sixth position. Despite this, the ever-impressive Gordon used the last 50km to put him in a close race with the eventual runner-up, Peterhansel. The race was so close that it was thought that either Gordon or Peterhansel won the stage based on corrected time. In the end, Al-Attiyah would become the victor, which was very good given the troubles that he had during Stage 1 of the Dakar Rally. Gordon would finish third, putting him second in the overall rankings only 2 minutes and 28 seconds being overall leader, Peterhansel.
"The stage was very good for us, but it sure was not easy. The last part of the stage was very difficult. We lost a lot of time in beginning trying to pass slower cars since we started 38th, but we able to regain it when there was no dust as well as the sand dunes. We don't want to show all of our cards just yet. Tomorrow will be good stage for me as I will open the road, and I will help Robby have a good timed stage because it will be difficult for other cars to pass us once we start running one and two," Nasser Al-Attiyah commented after his 14th stage victory in the Dakar, his 1st in a 2WD car.
"Day 2 was a big day for us; Nasser finished first after starting 38th, which was very impressive. I'm being really conservative trying to make it to the end; rally racing is difficult and patience is key. Being second overall now is sort of what I thought would happened. We have a great team and great equipment, so there's no reason why we shouldn't be. My main concern right now is to stay in the front of the pack like we've been doing and make it to half way. Once we get to half way, tighten the seat belts because it's on," Gordon said after posting a third place finish in Stage 2.

我觉得三菱车队已经不如从前了。当年那是一统天下呀！
嗯，好像是因为用了柴油机后车的性能不稳定了
兄弟喜欢那个车队？

我喜欢彼得汉塞尔，这个人是达喀尔赛车史上的传奇。先是拿了多年的摩托车总冠军。然后转投汽车组继续拿冠军。
车队嘛，原来的Mitsubishi Pajero，然后是Citro?n，再后来喜欢Volkswagen Touareg，今年喜欢Mini Cooper.  车老在变，人不变。

Monster Energy/X-Raid Team 2012 Dakar Rally - Stage 3
We have gone from the hunter to the hunted now. In the third special stage -- from San Rafael to San Juan -- the Monster Energy X-raid Team celebrated a one-two. Spanish-French pairing Duo Nani Roma / Michel Périn set the fastest time of the day, in their yellow Monster Energy MINI ALL4 Racing, with their team-mate Krzysztof Holowczyc (Poland) and his Belgian co-driver Jean-Marc Fortin in the ORLEN MINI ALL4 Racing coming second. Thanks to this second place, Holowczyc also took the lead in the overall rankings. Due to two punctures, the two Frenchmen Stéphane Peterhansel and Jean-Paul Cottret had to settle for coming seventh while Russia's Leonid Novitskiy and his German navigator Andi Schulz finished ninth.

Team Speed "Stage 3"
Nasser on Podium; Gordon earns another Top 5
San Juan (January 3, 2012) - The third stage of the Dakar Rally opened with the No. 300 car of Nasser Al-Attiyah first off the line and the No. 303 car of Robby Gordon shortly behind him in the 3rd starting position, giving Team SPEED an opportunity to keep momentum on their side. This stage of the 2012 Dakar Rally went from San Rafael to the city of San Juan, located in a valley of mountains just southeast of the Andes. The stage featured a total of 499km that included a 208 km special stage section that ended at the bivouac in San Juan.
The stage featured terrain that was suitable for the HUMMERs once again and Nasser Al-Attiyah and navigator Lucas Cruz looked to capitalize on their top ranking performance nfrom the day before.
"Opening the stage for us was a bit tricky. Going through sections of the course that were very narrow and technical it was difficult to maneuver such a big car. We kept it at 70 percent to stay conservative until the last 20km. We then picked it up and were very fast. We looked to gain as much ground as we could from the time we lost at the first part of the stage." commented navigator Lucas Cruz. Lucas and Nasser would end up gaining ground in the last section to finish in the 3rd position, also gaining in the overall standings advancing to 6th, 6 minutes and 34 seconds back from overall leader.
Robby Gordon, in his SPEED Energy/Toyo Tires HUMMER, was once again consistent and finished in the lead pack in 5th place, 2 minutes and 8 seconds behind.
Stephane Peterhansel, overall leader going into today's stage, had issues allowing Gordon to gain in the overall standings. Gordon will start the 4th stage of the rally only 54 seconds behind new leader, Holowczyc.
"Today was a good run. Both HUMMERs are running great and we did what we needed to do. I am being ultra conservative and making sure I finished the stage. We are now in the position to be leading the overall rally which can only boost moral and momentum heading into the heat of the rally." Gordon said having posted his 3rd top 5 finish in the first 3 stages of the 2012 Dakar Rally.
Team SPEED looks to keep the same game plan going into tomorrow as the 1st car leaves the line at 7:16am for Chilecito.

这些车都是为达喀尔拉力赛特别改装的。这Mini比一般的大。
那个蓝色的应该是去年参赛的大众途锐。
