Congratulations to Carlos Sainz and Lucas Cruz in their Dakar Rally win and new Champions. Volkswagen Motorsport also celebrated a 1-2-3 podium sweep today. Defending champions Giniel de Villiers and Dirk von Zitzewitz were out of contention very early on in the opening stages.

Just as de Villiers would have misfortune, Peterhansel would as well and fall over 2 hours down. In the end it came down to a fight among teammates, Carlos Sainz and Nasser Al-Attiyah. Nasser was on a tear on the 14th and final day but could not make up the +2min deficit in the end. USA’s own Mark Miller rounded out the Top 3 with teammate Ralph Pitchford. (continue reading…)

Breathtaking!
The 31st running of the Dakar Rally is being held in South America for the second year, instead of the traditional African route, due to ongoing security concerns.

The race is just over halfway completed now, the winners expected to cross the finish line on January 16th. Collected here are several photographs from the first 8 stages of this year’s rally.
