Dakar Rally by Charly Lopez, 2020..
🌧 Rain, Rain Go Away! 🌧
Happy Sunday! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend. Down here in the lovely southwest, been raining since 2am last night, and supposed to be just drizzly and cold through Tuesday. I know, can't complain too much since the rest of the country is going through some serious cold snaps. 🥶
Been busy doing some odds and ends, so haven't been watching much TV or youtube, but I'm gonna get caught up on the Dakar Rally (this year it was held Jan 5-19). I'm a HUGE Dakar fan, especially the dirt bike class. If you are not aware of that race, it's almost 5,000 miles of the harshest terrain you can tackle, and you gotta get it done in two weeks! 😲
Anyway hope you all are having a wonderful day, even if you are going through some crummy weather. Spring will be here soon enough! 🌷💐
The final countdown for Audi and the 2023 Red Bull Race Dakar Rally heads back to Saudi Arabia for its fourth edition on December 31.
The 2023 Dakar Rally heads back to Saudi Arabia for its fourth edition on December 31, with the world's best off-road racers facing 5,000 racing kilometres spread over 14 special timed stages before the chequered flag finally falls at Dammam on January 15. Audi, Toyota and MINI will get challenged during the Red Bull Race. Known as the pinnacle of Rally Raid, the Dakar Rally is a form of long-distance off-road racing that takes place over several days. The rally was born in 1977 after the French motorcycle racer Thierry Sabine got lost while driving his motorbike in the Libyan desert during the Abidjan-Nice Rally. Start of the Dakar Rally After finding his way back to the civilised world, Sabine determined to design a race based on his former experience, starting from Europe, then Algiers and crossing the Agadeze before the rally finishes in Dakar. Dakar Rally was born. The race has grown from destinations in Africa to South America. Now to Saudi Arabia, which may be on- or offroad a total distance of more than several thousand kilometres and requires precise navigation via a road book. Dakar Rally will be the longest since the start, and participants must tackle 5,000 kilometres of notable routes and 14 stages. The trails have more dunes and potential pitfalls than ever before. The prologue starts tomorrow in Yanbu by the Red Sea and ends in Dammam on the Arabian Gulf on 15 January 2023. The 2023 Dakar Rally Athletes The team of champions at the Dakar Rally must endure the racing challenges, and fresh-faced talents must prepare to push themselves to the limit in a decor of the gruelling heat and sands of South Arabia. Drivers in the T1 Car Class, Nasser Al-Attiyah and co-driver Mathieu Baumel (FRA), make their way in a Toyota GR DKR Hilux T1+. The driver aims for a fourth Dakar title. Nasser said: "We're ready to defend our title. It would be incredible to win again." Using the exact vehicle are the drivers (ZAF)/Dennis Murphy (ZAF), Giniel De Villiers and, Lucas Moraes (BRA)/Timo Gottschalk (DEU), who also will return to the rally. Sebastian Loeb (FRA) and co-driver Fabian Lurquin (BEL) push their BRX Prodrive Hunter after being runner-up to Al-Attiyah in 2022. Of course, the Audi Team can't miss out during this critical Dakar Rally race. Three-time Dakar Winner Carlos Sainz and co-driver Lucas Cruz from Spain race in their Audi RS Q e-Tron E2. Monsieur Dakar, Stéphane Peterhansel (FRA) and co-driver Edouard Boulanger (FRA) will join in Audi's three-pronged assault with Mattias Ekström (SWE) and Emil Bergkvist (SWE).

On bikes during the competition are Dakar and FIM World Rally-Raid Championship bike champion Sam Sunderland (GBR), who will represent Red Bull GASGAS Factory Racing as he targets a third Dakar victory. "The 2023 race is looking to be one of the toughest ever. I'm under no illusion of what that means.", according to Sam. Another rider is the Australian Daniel Saunders. He scored fourth in 2021 with two-time Dakar winner Toby Price. The Australian said: "The terrain in Saudi Arabia makes the rally very fast. Some stages are a sprint to the finish."

Etape 3 : Peterhansel vainqueur, Al-Attiyah leader !
Stéphane Peterhansel n'a pas été long à se refaire après sa petite erreur d'hier puisqu'il a remporté la troisième étape du Dakar ce mercredi, au terme d'une journée marquée par les ennuis de Giniel de Villiers et Carlos Sainz. http://bit.ly/2H0Y4WM
