  • 2018 Dakar // SS3: More Bad Luck for X-Raid
    2018 Dakar // SS3: More bad luck for X-raid Nani Roma out of the race due to an accident Dakar stays in San Juan de Marcona for a loop Today, after two days at Pisco, the Dakar participants hit the road to San Juan de Marcona. In the 296-kilometre special stage, the MINI John Cooper Works Rally pairing Jakub ‘Kuba’ Przygonski (POL) / Tom Colsoul (BEL) secured ninth place, two positions ahead of Boris Garafulic (CHI) and Filipe Palmeiro (POR) in a second MINI JCW Rally. Orlando Terranova / Bernardo ‘Ronnie’ Graue (both ARG) came 16th. While Joan ‘Nani’ Roma and Alex Haro (both ESP) had an accident at the very end of the stage and were forced into retirement. By finishing ninth in another difficult stage, Przygonski secured 11th position in the overall standings. “The sun was shining virtually vertically from the sky and therefore, seeing anything in the dunes was nearly impossible,” revealed the young Pole. “Furthermore, we were stopped by a puncture but changing the tyre did not take us a lot of time. Later we hit a rock in a riverbed but this incident had no consequences.” Following yesterday’s bad luck – the collision with their team-mates – Boris Garafulic (CHI) and Filipe Palmeiro (POR) had a clearly better day, today. “We completed the stage without encountering any problems,” said the Chilean. Unfortunately we had to witness when we reached the finish that Nani had an accident.” Meanwhile, Terranova and Graue had anything but a good day. “We got lost several times and in addition we had to change a damaged tyre,” Terranova said annoyed.

  • 2021 Dakar Rally: PKN ORLEN and Star to Drive with Przygonski/Gottschalk
    2021 Dakar Rally: PKN ORLEN and star to drive with Przygonski/Gottschalk New route, new rules, proven partners - together with their sponsors PKN ORLEN and star petrol stations, the dream team of Jakub Przygonski and Timo Gottschalk want to finish the most demanding rally in the world standing atop one of the coveted podium positions. Elmshorn, 4th of January 2021 – Yesterday, on 3rd of January, Jakub “Kuba” Przygonski from Warsaw (Poland) and Timo Gottschalk from Neuruppin (Germany) started this year's Dakar Rally in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia once again as a well-rehearsed team – this time in a 2021 Toyota Hilux. The rally distance of 7643 kilometres, of which 4767 kilometres are special stages, will be an opportunity for them to put all of their skills to the test. The Dakar Rally has found a new home in Saudi Arabia, after being held there for the first time last year. While the 2020 competition could be described as an initial journey of discovery, the 2021 route will be a far more challenging exploratory tour. The stages will feature a number of sand and dune stretches, as well as very rocky tracks, which will push the drivers to their limits. The roadbook will also be handed out minutes before the start of the rally, in order to test the co-drivers' navigation skills to the extreme. In return, the number of high-speed passages has been significantly reduced, and there is even a speed limit of 90 km/h for particularly dangerous passages. These challenges suit Jakub Przygonski and Timo Gottschalk to a T.

The GEOLANDAR-equipped car will be a KORANDO DKR driven by Oscar Fuertes Aldanondo and Diego Vallejo for SSANGYONG MOTORSPORT/ SODICARS RACING. The same car and drivers came in third in the T1.3 petrol 2-wheel drive class in the January 2019 Dakar Rally. This year the team will again compete in the T1.3 class.

  • The PEUGEOT 2008 DKR Clocks up Testing Kilometres in France
    The PEUGEOT 2008 DKR clocks up testing kilometres in France As the countdown to the 2015 Dakar Rally begins to accelerate, the Peugeot- Total squad is continuing to develop the fearsome PEUGEOT 2008 DKR at a frenetic pace with its three star drivers, including Cyril Despres, who is getting to grips with competing on four wheels for the first time. From 7am, Team Peugeot-Total is in action. Like a commando unit on a mission, the mechanics invade the test centre at Château Lastours, where the PEUGEOT 2008 DKR is about to begin a new phase of its development – generating impatience and anticipation in equal measure. Every single minute counts. For the first time, the three crews that constitute Peugeot’s dream team will all take turns behind the wheel. Following shakedown tests at Freneuse, Montlhéry and Creusot elsewhere in France, the beast now has the opportunity to demonstrate its mettle across rocky terrain that offers a foretaste of the kind of adventure that awaits it in South America. Now that Carlos Sainz has drawn upon his experience to identify the inevitable initial teething troubles, his two new team-mates have also come along to help out. On the programme is validation of the modifications made to the chassis and cooling system. Stéphane Peterhansel settles into the high-perched cockpit of his new mount. The French multiple Dakar winner wastes little time in heading towards this track, which represents a real challenge – even for a vehicle that aspires to the life of a trailblazer. As the kilometres pass by, Stéphane confesses to experiencing a genuine culture shock: “Switching over to two-wheel-drive changes everything!” he cheerfully reflects.

  • Peugeot 2008 DKR in Tenuta Da Combattimento
    Peugeot 2008 DKR in tenuta da combattimento Sulla via di Dakar – Manca circa un mese e mezzo alla fatidica data del 4 gennaio, e la Peugeot 2008 DKR è stata sottoposta a un po’ di palestra per verificare l’ossatura tecnica; ora è cominciata la fase di trasformazione dell’abbigliamento. Basta con la monocromia della carrozzeria nerofumo che copriva il modello in molte fasi dei test. E’ tempo di “indossare” la livrea da corsa. Con la tuta da battaglia, la bestia è ormai pronta alla sfida con le 4×4 della prossima Dakar. Sono cambiati i Continenti, ma, non solo idealmente, resta uno dei rally- raid più impegnativi del mondo, se non il più Impegnativo. Metamorfosi – Il “commando” formato da Peugeot, Red Bull e Total per la Peugeot 2008 DKR, l’arma predisposta, si rappresenta con una livrea cattiva, impostata nei colori blu, rosso e bianco. Il simbolo della ormai prossima entrata in azione. «Così ha un aspetto più aggressivo! », si entusiasma Cyril Despres. Invece Stéphane Peterhansel individua subito il vantaggio per gli equipaggi dato dalla grafica: « Il fatto che l’abitacolo sia circondato di bianco è un’ottima soluzione contro il caldo. Ho già guidato un’automobile con il tetto nero e questo fa già una bella differenza! ». Esperto nella messa a punto e abituato a tutti i tipi di vetture, Carlos Sainz si concentra sulla validità delle scelte tecniche: «La squadra ha preparato una vettura molto speciale, innovativa, che offre una reale polivalenza per affrontare i diversi tipi di terreno che incontreremo. Il concetto funziona bene. Alla fine dei Peugeot 2008 DKR in tenuta da combattimento nostri test, sappiamo che possiamo progredire molto velocemente anche se, come per ogni macchina da corsa nel suo primo anno di vita, è difficile essere sicuri della sua affidabilità al 100%».
