Not sure what others think but I hold the achievement of winning this event in the same regard as a win at the Le Mans 24hrs, Isle of Man TT, Indy 500, Monaco F1 GP

You need to be fast, brave and clever in equal measure

Imagine being penalized for speeding during a race.

That is a really interesting perspective, especially given the distances and terrain:

There is a lot of miles under that yellow route.

I have flow over the eastern part of SA (all east of Riyadh) and can't imagine how hard it must be to drive it, especially on a motorcycle!

My thinking is all the races I mentioned are very hard core and at the extreme end for each racing discipline

Had an enjoyable evening at the pub a few weeks ago sat next to the technical director of one of this years Dakar T1 car teams which are the fastest category

I'd love to work on a Dakar or Trophy Truck project, I'd be so far out of my 'fast car' comfort zone I'd be the newbie that knows nothing and starting from zero knowledge again

Plus, a ton of luck. The motorcyclists' scare me just watching from the helicopters.

A masterclass in horsepower and Sainz skill

I’m confused about the speeding penalty bit. Are these something like high-speed TSD stages?

Love the 1984 video. Did not realize that Vic Elford and Jochen Mass were still racing then.
