Xtrac

New names dominated the Dakar Rally this year - MINI won 1-2 first time out, and Iveco took away truck honors from traditional winners Kamaz. For KTM, it was business as usual with a 12th straight win

After two years secret development in motorsport competition, Xtrac has unveiled an Instantaneous Gearchange System. IGS does exactly the same thing a dual clutch transmission achieves with less weight, cost, and complexity.

With the World Rally Championship (WRC) switching over to S2000-based cars next year, the Mellors Elliott Motorsport (MEM) build Proton Satria Neo Super 2000 has proved to be the fastest S2000 rally car to date.
