Robby Gordon will contest the next edition of the famous Dakar rally in a Hummer H3 to be run by his own team.
The American driver will compete in the event for the 8th time, and this will be his seventh with a Hummer. Last year, Gordon was fighting for overall victory when he was excluded for technical irregularity.
This year, Kellon Walch will be his new codriver.
"I am excited to go back to race the prestigious Dakar Rally," Gordon said. "And show the world that we are ready to give it our best shot once again at an overall victory. Obviously our cars are good enough to compete for the win. Last year we had the fastest cars at the rally and led the most check points with the fastest times, with five wins as a team, two wins with the second Hummer (which was also approved and is available to compete) and three wins for myself."
"It is now time for us to go back and capitalize on what we developed and worked on over the last seven years to put ourselves in position to compete for the overall win," he added.
