Kyle would like to thank all the support staff at car launches that help him and other jorno’s to be able to create the journalism that we read and consume, thanks guys and girls.

Following on from Kyle’s video on the Dakar, Andy recommends a YouTube video from @thesmokingtire that shows the Dakar in its natural habit. A great video outside of the normal ‘one take wonder’ style that Matt is famous for, bravo!
