Robby Gordon 2013

I think that is a T on the end, so HST, but I've been wrong many times before...

Looks like a modified SST or at least SST glass.

You are right the only that is clear has the T chopped. So then, who is HST?

Hunter S Thompson.

We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.

Hst is a 15% tax we have on almost everything we buy....maybe the Canuck government is sponsoring him

Wait shouldn't it be a red caddilac then?

"Had a few extra of these lyin' around in the Shop Truck" maybe?

Hummer Super Truck

So by classing it is as a prototype or Proto they can run one off designs not based on current models ?

Didn't Hunter enter the Mint 400 on a Vincent Black Shadow!

1200hp 200mph Giordini!!! He loves messing with the French!

If the HST is built to run in the FIA (T3) 2WD category, that is right it does not have to have a chassis of a specific make/current model.

The SMG buggies, the Jeffries "Bugglies" of last year... Schlesser buggies etc. run in T3.

The FIA (T1) 4wd vehicle - like the Sth African Toyotas, Ford Rangers, the MINI's are required to conform to (modification/dimension allowances) the bodywork of a homologated production vehicle. That being said, the bodies are replicated in carbon fibre, the space frame tube chassis forms a symbiotic relationship to the shell (and in fact take most of the load bearing stress), and the suspension systems are anything but production bits... but they look (kinda) like the roadgoing version.

RG says in the interview that he is running FIA category (2wd)... which I take to mean T3... not the OPEN (SCORE eligible) class that he has prior with the Hummer... Will be interesting to see what goes on at Scrutineering in January... expect to see a lot of looking, point , scratching of heads and referal to the FIA tech rule book...

Maybe someone can chime in here and let there views known about/if this new rig which is based kinda on the SST vehicles is likely to be any better on the WRC style stages that the Dakar seems to be running nowdays?

I'd like to see his vehicle without the restrictor though, one hell of a run down that sand dune (or up it) or along the beach!!!!!!

It's so funny how he does that with a straight face! Gordinii

With a "front" engine and solid axle, it will sit with a "California Squat". I'm sure he'll be able to get the car to rotate through the corners better than the Hummmmmmmbuggy. OK so the ST stands for Super Truck, still can't figure out the H......

"H"is Super Truck?!?!?!

I thought it was pretty funny.

Get ready for another classic RRRubby Gordon lawsuit. Renault already owns the name Gordini.
