Dakar 2015

[MitFan]

Thanks chaps. Hope we see a good contest!!

[MitFan]

Strange that he drives a Mini though...

[MartijnS]

Yes indeed. Black one. Strange guy

[MartijnS]

First stage:

1. Terranova
2. De-Villiers +0.22
3. Al-Attiyah +1.05
4. Ten Brinke +3.37
5. Dabrowski +6.49
6. Van Loon +6.59
13. Van Merksteijn sr +18.02
14. Roma +24.00
30. Van Merksteijn jr +1.02.58 (Brake problems)

[Co-driven]

I think that one reason that Al-Attiyah keeps chsmging cars is that he also wants to win the World Cup and, therefore, chooses the cars that best suits each rally.

Peterhansel interview are there any relevations?

Does youtube translate?
Dont know how to do it.

In Morocco I think Van Merksteijn JN broke the car..

[MartijnS]

Yes, they had a big crash.
Rolled 5 times.

However, it looks like they will restart again tomorrow in order to make some milage before Dakar Cage seemed okay and the damage looked bigger at first than when they took a good look at the car.

Here's the video of van Merksteijn, in which everything is explained and showed :

Peter Jerie in car 325 was first on the scene for the accident, stopped to offer assistance but not much they could do. Peter is having a good run in the Overdrive Toyota in 16th place. Now for me to push for the gig with him for Dakar
