Dakar 2016

[N.O.T]

Now Loeb appeared at wp7 lost 2 mins of his lead, now 1min ahead of Paterhansel Sainz leads the stage 1 min ahead of Loeb but i do not know how reliable are the times.

[Mirek]

It looks like a tyre change for Loeb, nearly exactly 3 minutes lost on the split.

[René]

Chanel tv France 4 they say that Loeb has problem with the engine (oil leak)

[René]

WP8 Carlos et Peter ok..... Seb????

[N.O.T]

Sainz 20sec ahead of Loeb who is in turn 2.30mins ahead of peterhansel, the finish is adjacent to wp8 so not big changes at finish i guess. Loeb the overall leader once more.

[N.O.T]

Tomorrow is rest day at Salta so the race resumes on Monday with 393kms special stage.

[René]

Sainz 38 sec ahead of Loeb and 3.27 on Peter ;)

[mousti]

Lionel Baud best known as one of the main entrants in Terre de France, hit a spectator today.. :(

[N.O.T]

still no times at finish, typical argentinians, useless at everything.

[N.O.T]

After Sébastien Loeb and Stéphane Peterhansel, today it was Carlos Sainz who won the seventh stage of the rally. The Spaniard claimed the sixth consecutive win in the 38th Dakar for Peugeot. He leads Sébastien Loeb by 38' and Stéphane Peterhansel by 3'27'.

loeb the leader with half of the event gone.

Peter, AKA Mr. Dakar seems to be playing a tactical game slowing down at the end. Where is Nasser and De Villiers? they should shine with the dunes coming up for the first time. We are in for a thriller!!

[dimviii]

i read somewhere that the rest of Dakar is in favour of buggies.

Loeb comments
We know that the next steps will be complicated but no question to ask. auto market strong, we will attack !!

Frankly it was not thought to be leader withDanosElena the rest day for our firstdakar. We are happy and we will savor.

In the end the car was working perfectly again and the main is to find the 1st place. That was the goal to start this morning

Step a little contrast: the first top part fort was attacked and taken time. 2nd game with engine failure at the start but it has walked again

Can be with their light weight, and auto tire inflation deflation system etc. However in the past I have seen the 4wd climb steep soft dunes better than the buggies.. we have to wait and see.

[Mirek]

The buggies in the past have never been so fast like Peugeot now as they were never developed by a strong manufacturer. Peugeots were faster than Minis in Marocco so they shall be fast in the sand here too.

Some info from trucks. Kolomý crashed in the dust while chasing some Kamaz. The crew managed to repair the Tatra and continue with a big time loss.

Ok true. However with tricky navigation, reliability and amount of stress the cars have already gone through, experience of the crews, the second half will be very interesting.

Thats why I think Perter slipped behind Nasser. I think he prefers to tail him being the biggest threat.

I still think that in extremely difficult conditions the 4wd cars will have the edge. And according to the description on the route, things are going to get progressively harder.

As of now, I will put 45% of my money on Nasser, 35% on De Villiers and 20% on Peter!

[EightGear]

If there's anything history has shown over the years it's to always put 100% on Loeb.

Sebastien Loeb retakes Dakar lead, Carlos Sainz wins stage seven
Saturday, January 9th 2016, 19:32 GMT

Carlos Sainz, Dakar Rally 2015

Sebastien Loeb retook the lead of the Dakar Rally on Saturday, while his Peugeot team-mate Carlos Sainz claimed stage honours.

The Uyuni - Salta stage was split into two parts, with the cars crossing the border from Bolivia to Argentina through a neutral section in the middle.

At the start of the neutral section Loeb enjoyed a lead of more than two minutes over Sainz, with overnight rally leader Stephane Peterhansel 3m27s back in the third Peugeot.

But engine problems for Loeb meant Sainz assumed control when the stage resumed in Argentina, building a lead of 56s over his fellow World Rally champion before reaching the finish line 38s faster than the Frenchman.

With Peterhansel 3m27s adrift of Sainz at the finish, Loeb retook the overall lead of the standings by 2m22s heading into the rest day.

"The first [section] was awesome, we went at full tilt and opened up a big gap," said Loeb.

"We then had trouble before the start of the second sector.

"The car worked more or less, it was a turbo management problem, but we lost our focus and bit and made a navigational mistake.

"Halfway through it started working properly again, and we put on the afterburners for the rest of the stage.

"I was super motivated this morning to take the lead back.

"We didn't manage to do everything we wanted, but we're in the lead and that's what counts.

"The next three stages after the rest day are packed with pitfalls, but our only strategy is to attack a lot."

It marked a turnaround in fortunes for Loeb, who lost more than eight minutes on Friday when he suffered two punctures and a sticking throttle, costing him the lead to Peterhansel for a day.

While the competition from Peugeot sets the pace, there is thick air at X-raid. Guerlain Chicherit has decided to no longer want to go to the start. As reasons for the surprising demolition, he gave to the results of the past few days and its present poor starting position. For X-raid participation of the buggy was a pure test under competitive conditions.

"We all, including Guerlain, knew from the beginning that the buggy is not competitive and had completed only a few test kilometers," said X-raid Team Manager Sven Quandt. "He himself had given us after the last test before the Dakar, the 'GO' to participate. Our mechanics have invested a lot of work to bring the buggy at the start. His decision is a big disappointment and a setback in the development for all. Yesterday's stage has shown over the potential of the buggy has -. To a technical defect Guerlain could ride in the top 10. "

Chicherit took his leave with the words: "I am deeply disappointed, but under the circumstances you have to use your head and not the heart. Security comes first" - What the Frenchman thinks so, he is Quandt certainly explains in great detail have.

Just watched quite nicely detailed TV summary from our TV (with live commentary as the stage is still on). There were a lot of crashes from bikers. Yesterday Faria, Barreda and Jakeš crashed, today Walkner. All are injured, Walkner badly with broken thigh bone.

Also unfortunately a fatal accident happened. A 63 years old spectator died when he was hit by a buggy of Lionel Baud.

And something funny at the end... yesterday's story of Robbie Gordon. He took not enough fuel. After some time they tried to pump some fuel from his teammate's car to end with both cars out of fuel some time later. They were then towed to the finish...

We are at the half of the rally and Kamaz starts to attack - just like last year.

The first sand dunes have not been a pleasant experience for Sébastien Loeb who is reported to be stuck in the sand on the special.

Tomorrow the terrain doesn't have too many dunes but on Wednesday we have the largest and the last sand dune section of the event and then we are back again on "normal" terrain.

Quite in exciting stage so far, it looks like the Dakar begins now!

Interesting that the Mini matched the Peugeot on this stage. Also Loeb seems to have trouble with dunes, a specific Dakar thing, looks like he needs to come back next year to win it :D

I think if he doesn't lose too much time on the dunes the next 2 days he can very well win it this year as well, he is clearly the fastest of them all on the other sections, with Dakar you never know though.

Reported to be at a standstill, Sébastien Loeb made a wrong move less than 30 kilometres from the finishing line of the special. At present, the man from Alsace is trying to repair in order to finish the special of course, but more importantly to reach the bivouac and entrust his DKR 2008 to his mechanics.

The battle is over for seb.

Peterhansel :I don't know what happened because 100 kilometres before the end we overtook him in the off-track part. I don't know if he had a problem but he was not really fast. After that, when we started to drive on the tracks again he was faster than me. I stopped and he overtook me again… no, no, not again, he overtook me, and after that, 20 kilometres from the end at a large river, with the speed at around 120 kmph, there was a big hole and he crashed into the hole and rolled. I don't know how many rolls, but he was ok, he was out of the car and told us it was ok and we could go. We have lost one car, so it's less comfortable than before”.

There was a timing mistake with Nikolaev, he is normally in finish.

Kolomý further suffered from the crash in leg 7. The engine fixation broke in the stage. The crew was able to fix it somehow (anyone don't tell me that after the cabin they strapped even the engine...). His teammate Valtr had his best stage result ever I think. Pity his troubles in the first leg from which he recovered several days through starting very late...

[dimviii]

"Obviously disappointed after stage since day lost our hopes of victory. It had rolled to a correct rhythm at first, then we lost a few minutes by ensablant at a time, and a little before arrival , we made barrels. in rio, I did not see a big walk and fell into a trench ... We usually try to follow some tracks, but sometimes it goes in all directions. there, I was not on the right track.
The car had a lot of damage, we could leave after mechanics, changed two wheels and a universal ... it cost a lot of time. Already, we were not sure to reach the finish tonight ...
We knew we would have to learn for our first participation and we learn. So close to the finish of the stage, it's frustrating, but it is so. We still have things to do, experience to take. We will start from the front tomorrow. "

Stephane Peterhansel Survey

The Mini team has filed a claim against Stéphane Peterhansel, current leader of the standings Cars Dakar 2016, Monday night after the eighth stage. The team claims that the French pilot refueling in an unauthorized area, at km 180 of the special Monday. The stewards have therefore started an investigation to determine whether the supply was legitimate or not. Peterhansel has received a summons to appear at the evening briefing.

The sporty Peugeot Sport Director, Bruno Famin confirmed to the Spanish news agency EFE the complaint and said: "This refueling was legal because it was in the roadmap. I do not understand the complaint, we expect to know its purpose. "The potential penalty for illegal supply for the pilot proved the Top 11 Dakar would go from six hours to disqualification.

Monsieur Dakar is not only considered one of the best drivers in the rally-raid, both two and four wheels. The French, in addition to displaying amazing speed, able to put even embarrass two drivers from the WRC as Sainz and Loeb, is also one of the better read the dunes and therefore has a huge advantage in navigation stages. However, Peterhansel also has become famous for their badinage or stratagems for the sole purpose of anything goes for victory. After all, 11 Tuareg go far.

Yesterday the X-Raid team accused the Peugeot 2008 # 302 DKR16 have refueled in yesterday's stage, which was itself allowed for the motorbike riders and quads, but it was not enabled in the case of cars. In this case, Sven Quandt, team Stéphane above, accuses his ex-pilot to have stopped at km 180 of the stage for refueling, which had specifically prohibited the ASO in the briefing yesterday.

This strategy is not the first time that recourse Peterhansel. It has been accused in the past of refueling in the middle of stage and even to change their motor bike mysteriously and secretly. Without going any further, in 2014 the controversy with Nani Roma took until the last moment. In X-Raid team orders imposed to secure the victory and allow the Spanish became his long-awaited victory in the car category.

The Catalan, who had come to the middle of the second week being clear leader found that Peterhansel did not respect these team orders and while Nani lifted his foot, the French plunged into the attack even to be leader would finally be Rome which he reaches goal as the winner of the Dakar 2014, but on the faces of the pilot and copilot, as well as in the rest of the team, reflected the tension experienced in recent days.

In 1993, Peterhansel also had another of his high points in terms of strategies to win the race. In this case, the confrontation came with another Spanish, Jordi Arcarons, one of its biggest rivals in the stage on two wheels. Marking near him was subjecting the driver to Monsieur Dakar Cagiva came to desesperarle and forced him to take a little sports strategy. Asked a French commissioner where the CP was, after telling Arcarons do not was there any control Paso. Still together, but Peterhansel simulated mechanical problems with his bike let out a Arcarons. After losing sight, Stéphane turned around and returned to CP, while Jordi was penalized several hours to such compulsory crossing point have missed.

In 1995 Arcarons try to return it to claim that Peterhansel had received outside help to have used a hammer to straighten a piece of his bike. The French would be penalized with a few minutes, enough for the Spanish got in front of the race, but finally Monsieur completed the comeback and left back Jordi without sleep to get a Dakar.

Granada-Dakar: I will head, but make a mistake when refueling. Arcarons claims and penalizes me 15 minutes. I feel discouraged, but in black Africa attacked the most during any stage and get out 20 minutes ahead. The scales are tipped in my favor that day ...

[MartijnS]

Stage cancelled after CP2. Too hot and too difficult dunes???

[rayh_mx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CVrIdE7ViY

[N.O.T]

11:31 : The race is stopped at CP2
Today’s stage was expected to be difficult given the profile of the special. The dunes around Fiambala and the hot temperatures promised a tricky day for the competitors. These concerns soon proved to be true and, in light of the high number of competitors already in difficulty, in particular in the bike category, the race management have taken a logical decision. In order to guarantee maximum safety to the entire field, the race will finish at CP2.

[N.O.T]

seems that the race still on for the cars though since we have times for wp3 and wp4... but i do not know if they count of not.

Hirvonen is the leader now on wp3 and Peterhansel loses 11 mins.

Overall sainz with a lead of 4.30mins over peterhansel and nasser closes at 10, Hirvonen also closes at 30min.

[EstWRC]

Why Loeb has only one WP?

[MartijnS]

seems that the race still on for the cars though since we have times for wp3 and wp4... but i do not know if they count of not.
.

Yes, organisation tweets now that it only counts for Bikes and Quads to stop at CP2.

[N.O.T]

i think the stage is cancelled because times are a bit crazy now.

Sainz leads the stage for now he gained 4 mins on hirvonen between wp3 and 4... Peterhansel 9 mns behind sainz

[MartijnS]

Yes...someone from the team of Erik van Loon just posted that Nasser is already in the Bivac.

[N.O.T]

Yes...someone from the team of Erik van Loon just posted that Nasser is already in the Bivac.

Is there a nation without retarted, autistics or lowlifes for you? :)

[N.O.T]

12:48 : Cars: a comeback from Sainz for victory
With the best time at CP2, Carlos Sainz has won another stage, his 29th in all, for the Peugeot team. The Spaniard has saved the day for the French team which seemed to be heading for a tough day at CP1. However, like yesterday, Sainz managed to find the will and power to inverse the trend on the stage. Only ten seconds behind him, Erik Van Loon (Mini) achieves a surprising result, with Mikko Hirvonen (Mini) 17 seconds behind the Spaniard. Stéphane Peterhansel, who finished 9’12’’ behind his Iberian team-mate, loses the command of the general standings to Sainz, with Carlos now leading the Frenchman by 7’03’’.

[N.O.T]

Is there a nation without retarted, autistics or lowlifes for you? :)

No, the difference is that in some nations the majority is consisted of such people.

This is why I don't love the Dakar. Peterhansel and usually other French people never got penalised when they do things who are not allowed. A few years ago, Peterhansel hit a bike rider heavily in a river and he even drove with more speed after this. Other people should say sorry and ask if the bike rider is OK...

How many spare tyres they carry?

[N.O.T]

Big crash of Goncalves yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68GUrwgDRoU



and still managed to finish second on that stage !!!

[Mirek]

How many spare tyres they carry?

Frankly I don't know but afaik they didn't change anything in stage (it takes a lot of time with truck). It seems that the punctures were close to the finish and as the truck has tyre pressure regulation system they were probabably able to drive with this for some time without major time loss.

[N.O.T]

tomorrow is the day with the longest dune sections so it should be interesting..... if of course they run the stage

"The Fiambala dunes have become one of the decisive stages of the Dakar. This year, they feature at the heart of the most critical rally sequence, when drivers and their vehicles will have to demonstrate their aptitude for extreme endurance. Moreover, the day’s stage presents the longest dune section in the shared history of the Dakar and Fiambala, off-piste for most of the time. In short, an open door for desert specialists."

"It was a day just hassle. We got stuck three or four times as many. We followed the roadbook, the track was well brewed and it was difficult, if not impossible to pass. it is mounted suddenly plates, we also had to change a gimbal. I guess you could say we learned a hassle! in all these bushes, it was not the most pleasant stage. D 'on the one hand, it reduces the regrets of yesterday. on the other hand I say that I would have had a better order of appearance ...
It is always disappointing but I think it is relative. We came to learn, we found ourselves in the lead and defended our position. Now we will continue our learning even if tomorrow we have a real day dunes will be complicated: it will leave later than the favorites, with a warmer sand, softer. We know we can count on your support :-) "

According to French tele, it has been very hot between Peterhansel and the organizers. It looks like what did Peter is ok due to a failure in the regulation, but ASO doesn't like it.

Another Dutch victory at the trucks.
Pascal de Baar with the Renault wins in front of Gerard de Rooij! Crazy big differences. Looks like a terrible day for Kamaz if I'm correct.

Top 5 today at the end of a stage that was among the most difficult of the Dakar. In itself this is not a bad result but the day was not easy. It was a little lost at first, like everyone else because there was a mistake in the road book. After we have two flat tires and we ensable once following an engine failure. We also did a barrel top of a dune after a sudden racket ... It was a bit of survival for us but finally we finished fifth. So we will make the positive and we hope a more rolling step tomorrow to take a little more fun. Congratulations to Peugeot Sport which signs doubled. I'm just disappointed for Carlos who was hard on this Dakar.

Yes, You are right. De Rooy is now in comfortable lead if nothing so crazy like yesterday repeats and hits him.

We can note on the photo that Carlos passed on this rock. It is the type of error that has to be paid cash, and that is very quickly understood. Aie ! "There I will not have had to make it"
