We kick off (and complete) our coverage of the 2008 Dakar Rally. Yes, the rally has been cancelled and the dreams of 570 teams dashed. We sum up what happened and hear some feedback from Rally Pan American team manager Charlie Rauseo, privateer Don Hatton and voice of the Dakar Toby Moody provided by RallyRAIDio.net. We also hear an excerpt of comments from Robby Gordon of Team Dakar USA, courtesy of MarathonRally.com.
RallyRAIDio has great interviews with people who were on the scene in Lisbon, including more of the interviews we highlighted in the show. And MarathonRally.com has the latest news and some videos, including Robby Gordon’s reaction.
For more info on the people we heard from:
- Toby Moody, motorsport commentator

- Don Hatton, privateer
- Robby Gordon of Team Dakar USA
