    A tough day for PETRONAS Team De Rooy IVECO in Stage 8 of Dakar Rally 2020 Flat tyres, mechanical issues and big, soft dunes made for a hard day that ended with a loss of precious time for the team’s drivers Wadi Al-Dawasir, January 13th, 2020 The 8th stage of the Dakar Rally presented a big challenge for the crews and the PETRONAS Team De Rooy IVECO suffered some setbacks that produced significant loss of time for the drivers. Janus van Kasteren started the stage in good form, but two flat tyres, one at the beginning and the other one at the end, cost him time. The biggest obstacle was a very soft dune where he got stuck, but with Van de Laar’s help he was able to resume racing. Van Kasteren positioned his #505 truck in 16th place, 51m02s behind leader Karginov. It is a setback for his objective of getting into the Top 5 of the overall classification, as he remains in 7th position, almost an hour away from fifth-placed Sotnikov. Michiel Becx had a good run in Stage 8, which was the second loop of the race with beginning and end in Wadi Al-Dawasir. The Dutchman from PETRONAS Team De Rooy IVECO finished 18th, getting his fourth Top 20 result in a row, and he climbs one place to 16th in the general standings. Albert Llovera also had a hard time on the tough roads of Saudi Arabia, with level 1 and 2 dunes of very soft sand that can be very treacherous for the drivers.

The presidents of Russia, Turkey and France were among global chiefs at the talks held under the auspices of the United Nations, which wants foreign powers wielding influence in the region to stop interfering in the war - be it through weapons, troops or financing. Leaders of both warring factions - strongman Khalifa Haftar and the head of Tripoli’s UN-recognized govern- ment Fayez Al-Sarraj - were also in Berlin for the first such gathering since 2018. But pro-Haftar forces upped the ante on the eve of the talks by blocking oil exports at Libya’s key ports, crippling the country’s main income source in protest at Turkey’s decision to send troops to shore up Sarraj’s Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA). Ahead of the talks, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan lashed out at Haftar, saying he needed to drop his “hostile attitude” if Libya is to have any chance at winning peace.

  • Engines from Liebherr for Successful Kamaz Racing Trucks in Dakar Rally
    Press information Engines from Liebherr for successful Kamaz racing trucks in Dakar rally Bulle, FR (Switzerland) March 31, 2014 – Among the 75 trucks that took up the starting position in January 2014 for the Dakar rally, five were trucks from Kamaz Master, the motor sport team from the Russian company Kamaz OJSC. Three of the trucks were equipped with 8-cylinder engines from Liebherr. In the overall ranking, the trucks gained third and fifth place. The third truck had to retire during the second stage of the race due to an accident on difficult terrain. In mid- March 2014, one of the trucks used in the rally and its driver, Eduard Nikolaev, came to visit Liebherr Machines Bulle SA where the engines were developed and manufactured. Kamaz in Dakar rally The Dakar rally, or better known simply as The Dakar, is one of the toughest challenges for drivers, vehicles and their components. Since 2009, for reasons of safety, its venue is no longer North Africa but Latin America instead. In 2014, a total of 204 vehicles crossed the finishing line in Valparaíso, Chile, in the motorcycle, quad, car and truck categories – which equates to only about 47% of all of the vehicles that started. In the trucks category, 71 vehicles started from Rosario in Argentina. Of that number, 50 reached the finish line after an overall distance of about 9370 km, spread over 13 stages. The Kamaz Master team, formed 25 years ago, has dominated the event in the truck sector for many years and has won a total of twelve times since 1996.

  • Australian Riders Finish in Toughest Off-Road Rally in Africa
    MEDIA RELEASE 20th January 2020 For immediate release Australian riders finish in toughest off-road rally in Africa International off-road racer and Albury resident Andrew Houlihan has finished 21st outright in the gruelling 2020 Africa ECO Race. The 14 day off-road rally saw riders struggle at times with the demanding terrain, some stranded in the desert for up to 30 hours, and one stage cut short due to multiple serious crashes requiring evacuations by helicopter. Whilst the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia has captured plenty of attention in recent weeks, 3 Australians, including Andrew Houlihan, have been tackling an equally demanding event in Northern Africa. The Africa ECO Race is an annual rally raid that starts in Europe and retraces much of the path of the original Paris-Dakar rally, ending on the banks of the famous pink lake - Lac Rose - in Senegal. The event came about after the 2008 Paris-Dakar was abruptly cancelled one day before it was due to start amid fears of a terrorist attack in Mauritania, and then relocated to South America. It was a big blow to rally teams and fans worldwide, and the African Race was created to ensure the original format and character of the Paris-Dakar continued on. Andrew Houlihan says that “whilst the Dakar Rally is the best known rally in the world, the Africa ECO Race is often referred to as the REAL race to Dakar as it retraces much of the old Paris- Dakar route and finishes at the original end point in Dakar, Senegal.” “And we travel through some of the toughest terrain in the world on the way.” The Africa ECO Race is now a world class off-road rally event, equal in difficulty to the much more heavily promoted Dakar Rally that is now run in Saudi Arabia.

    Dakar 2014: Gerard de Rooy with Iveco Powerstar wins 12th stage • Iveco team leader remains second in the standings • All four Iveco’s still going strong Turin, January 18 2014 It was a thrilling race yesterday for the trucks and the Special was eventually won by Gerard de Rooy. He was with his Iveco Powerstar 31 seconds faster than his rival Karginov and crossed the finish line in 1st place. Nikolaev came third with a time gap of 3:18 minutes . Gerard de Rooy at the finish: "We had a hard time on the bad section between 170 and 200 kilometers in the stage, just before we went into the dunes. All those holes and stones are not really my thing. Once in the dunes it was fantastic and we could pass Nikolaev. He was nice for us because he pulled over. We could make up some minutes to Karginov between WP9 and WP10 and that did not surprise me. However, it disappoints me that he could take back some time”. After WP4 Loprais had a massive plunge in the rankings with his Tatra and now is at a distance of nearly 2 hours. Hans Stacey finished with his IVECO Trakker at 7th spot with a gap of 30:35 minutes. Pep Vila crossed the finish line in 9th place and lost 41:02 minutes to the leader of the stage. Jo Adua had started a real catch-up race and finished in 17th place with his Iveco Trakker. He had to start on 35th place after problems with his front axle in the trial of the previous day.
