Robby Gordon learnt, while preparing for Sunday’s Daytona 500, that his exclusion from 2012 Rally Dakar had been confirmed in Paris, on Friday.
Back in January, Robby Gordon had been excluded from Rally Dakar for technical irregularity on his Hummer. An appeal by the American allowed him to finish the race, and take a provisional 5th position overall.
However his protest didn’t stand.
The judgment from Dakar’s marshals was seconded by the national court of appeal of the French Federation of motor sports.
Gordon was therefore re-excluded from the rally.
