Poor line up, only Peterhenasel is top driver there!!

Hollowzik is good, but not top level as to go for a win!

[spalind]

Eh? Holoczywc has been a top 5 driver in a privateer Nissan the past couple years...on team BMW he should be even stronger...

[Baja Fool]

Yeah for sure, this guy is ready to move up to the big show.....check him out.

I said Hollowcik is good, very consistent, but in my opinion not still fast enought as Peterhansel.
He deserves this opportunity, but I just think he does not have the raw speed for a WIN!!

Beside all above mentioned drivers there is a talking that Carlo de Gavardo will too drive a BMW X3 on next Dakar. Peterhansel is clearly going for a win but also Holowczyc is able to get on podium. Leonid Novitskiy is a solid second-line pilot but he will hardly make it to top 10. Ricardo Leal dos Santos may surprise as he was quite good with big X5, my prediction is somewhere around 13th place. And Stephane Schott... quite good with Pajero in past years he may be in top 20. I hope BMW's will worry VW a lot on 2011 Dakar.

Rumours are that Marcus Gronholm will join X-Raid team on forthcoming Morocco Rally in order to prepare for 2011 Dakar.

New addition to the team:
Orlando Terranova, from Argentina.
Fast driver, not so consistent.
He has been part of X raid in 2008 (and done 2009 Dakar).
He has not driven anything since last year Dakar (with the Lancer ex works).

Confirmed by him and sponsors (Loctite Henkel and Personal cell phone)

Finally it was the way I predicted, only Peterhansel was on form to fight the VW!!
