That was not in this Dakar, but in a Baja somewhere during 2015.
Didn't see one pass of him on TV this year, completely anonymous Dakar anyway, so no added value. Incredibly stupid action with that crash with his support Hummer.Follow us at http://facebook.com/rallymedia or http://www.rallymedia.nl !

I'm not surprised by Gordon... so glad he never won the Dakar. Let's hope those are not serious injuries.

It seems to have been an handsoff moment that went very wrong...totally reckless behavior from RG and the assistants crew. The guy in the Hummer passing food and water is Creed grandfather. He was the most injured one but it's now recovering. Let's see if this time argentinian authorities will do something against Gordon. I'm pretty sure these guys wouldn't behave like this in a US motorway.

That comment was intended to be a joke, based on his former Nascar run-ins with others
On more serious note, looking at the videos where he just suddenly starts a burnout on a crowded road, this accident and several others we might not even know about should sign that something's not right - either he's simply reckless, or just doesn't care at all.
Hopefully every injured person recovers quickly. This should be a good wakeup call for everyone involved.

The PH Sport squad has acquired three Peugeot 2008DKR16 machines to lease to privateer entrants for the 2017 Dakar Rally.
Stephane Peterhansel took the 2008DKR16 to victory in this year’s Dakar in January, securing Peugeot’s first victory in the South America-based event since 1990 on only the French marque’s second year of its return.
Sebastien Loeb, Carlos Sainz and Cyril Despres drove the remaining three works Peugeots, while Porsche WEC regular Romain Dumas campaigned a year-old 2008DKR for his own team.
PH Sport, which is running sister brand Citroen’s semi-works WRC programme this year, will make its fleet of 2008DKR16s available to customers in September, allowing them to tackle the Moroccan Rally in October before next January’s Dakar.
“We are very excited by the idea of taking on this new challenge” said PH Sport’s Bernard Piallat.
“Being able to lease the best car in cross-country rallying is an exceptional opportunity, both for PH Sport and the drivers that choose to join us.
“We will treat this new programme with the respect it deserves, because we know that we have a lot to learn in the category.
“Having said that, we are confident because we are acquiring cars that have already proven their worth and we will have the support of Peugeot Sport to help us in understanding their operation.
“In all areas, PH Sport will therefore comply with the standards of the factory team, in order to give our customers the chance to aim for first place.”
