Good Luck Team Speed !!

No way ASO lets them remove the limiter... right ? Anyone else maybe...sad but true.

Ah nope, they all run limiters if that's the rule for their class. RG may be special but he ain't that special.

You might be sad but it sure isn't true.

 

[michael_loomis]

No.. they will not remove the limiter.

Can someone explain me why ASO puts speed restriction to UTV?

I believe its to make it "fair" again, since they are allowed big travel and big tires with 4WD

Liason looks more tiring than the special...

Probably a little of that and safety. Everyone has I speed limit iirc but I know they cars are much higher. Seems more dangerous having an 80mph being passed by a 120mph vehicle.

Did we hear any more on Potts axle issue?

Could go two ways... he’s the slowest one of the three.. but also possibly harder on his equipment.

I didn’t know that’s what it was. I’ve heard of a few people having CV issues on their XXs already though.

These are custom plunging axles I believe? From just looking at it, it seems they don’t have a lot of down travel, almost as if they strapped it up to make them more durable.

Safety was certainly the initial concern. Much like the Garbage trucks. After they killed few competitors, it was reined in from the crazy HP that they used to be. Remember the push me pull you twin engine jobby:

Oh you sucker...you beat me to it.
One of my favorites Dakar moments.
I think he wadded it up soon after that vid.

Back in 1988 Dakar veteran Jan de Rooy constructed a monster.

Back in the days these trucks were unlimited and he made the most of it. The statistics are mindboggling. The Daf X1 (and X2) was powered by two 11,2 liter engines, each equiped with a triple turbo!! The engines produced 1200 Hp.... each! Combined the torque figure is an earth shattering 7000 lb-ft!

This power could propell this monster to 150 miles an hour. And to prove I don't lie, here's some footage of this truck in the desert. What you see is a modified Peugeot 405 driven by rallye legend Ari Vatanen.... being overtaken by 11 tons of truck!!

That's all back when Dakar was a much better race for sure.

And you talk about getting passed in a UTV doing 80MPH. I bet Ari damn near shat himself when de Rooy came through!

I’m sure it feels about the same. Lol.

Having been in a limited car when a TT comes raging by... its sketch.

The difference is, RG scenario is happening pretty easily. I doubt this truck of De Rooy caught Ari somewhere not so flat.
