The Dakar finished last Sunday and as expected Carlos Sainz won the rally. He was very close to win it last year until he felt to a dry river. So this was like a rematch for him. The Volkswagen team made the top 3 places with Nasser Al-Attiyah taking the 2nd. place just 2:12 minutes behind Sainz after 9,000 Kilometers of race. This was a perfect race for the Race Touareg 2 from Volkswagen. The 4th. and 5th. places were for BMW. Peterhansel made a good job with his BMW X3 CC. He finished 2:17:21 hours behind Sainz. Watch this video of the whole race.
This is such a difficult race that most participants are just happy to finish it. Most of the pilots are Exhausted at the end of the rally. An example of this situation is the case of Team Peru Dakar with Fernando Ferrand driving a FJ Cruiser from Toyota who finished in the 47th. place from a total of 57 cars. He finished 64:19:27 hours behind Carlos Sainz, but still, the Peru Dakar team was very happy.
