    Love that he chose an old Skoda!
    As he says, if you make a miss, then it is no longer regularity when you are catching up. Then you drive as fast as you can, or dare!
    Been there, done that!

    hopefully the classic class will grow next year!

    Kevin Abbring tested the new electric car of GCK Motorsport for about 10 days or so during Dakar.

    How a veteran conquered Dakar
