  • Media Information, 2013 Dakar Rally
    Media Information 2013 Dakar Rally – #07 The Atacama shows no mercy: Three-O-One defends third place at the “Dakar” Calama, 10 January 2013 Position defended on one of the most formidable stages: Giniel de Villiers and Dirk von Zitzewitz remain in third place after almost 3,000 of the 8,000 kilometres that form this year’s Dakar Rally. Driving a Toyota Hilux, they trailed stage winners Nasser Al-Attiyah and Lucas Cruz in a buggy by 17m 17s after one of the most challenging legs of the toughest desert rally in the world, which took the competitors through the Atacama Desert. The winners of the 2009 “Dakar” were struck by misfortune in the dunes: de Villiers and von Zitzewitz had no option but to slow down when they came across a rival car that had, unbeknown to them, got stuck behind a crest. They were then forced to spend valuable time using sand ladders, deflating the tyres and shovelling for all their worth in order to free themselves from the situation they suddenly found themselves in. Despite being seen as rank outsiders, “Ginny” and “Schnietz”, as the two friends know each other, now find themselves just 42m 31s behind odds-on favourites Stéphane Peterhansel and Jean-Paul Cottret in the X- raid Mini in the overall classification. This in itself is a success worthy of recognition after a third of the total “Dakar” distance. Friday sees the Dakar Rally cross the border to Argentina via the picturesque Paso de Jama, with its literally breath-taking plateaus at over 4,000 metres above sea level.

  • Beneath the Gentle Veneer Lies a Wealth of Wisdom A
    Media Information BENEATH THE GENTLE VENEER LIES A WEALTH OF WISDOM A wealth of motorsport knowledge and experience underlies the blithesome Juan Möhr, who’s Cross Country accomplishments over the past 24-years include the South African regional and national championships, the FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup and the character-building Dakar Rally. The cheerful Möhr started racing in regional events with his uncle Max Möhr in 1996 and has participated in 85 SA Cross Country (SACCS) events since 2002, placing him amongst the most experienced navigators in the current SACCS series. “Uncle Max was a motorsport devotee and highly respected by his peers, a truly big hearted man but also a hard task master. One of the first lessons I was taught before I could even start racing was, if you want to play the game - know the rules. Something I have never forgotten,” Juan said. Juan’s formative years included, building from scratch, a Class B Special Vehicle which Max and he won the 1996 Barberspan 400 regional race in, on his 19th birthday and in their first outing. The following year the pair won the Transvaal Regional Championship and placed second in the popular Total Super Series short circuit challenge. In 1997 Möhr was employed by the charismatic Richard Schilling, a multiple Cross Country champion, former president of Motorsport South Africa and the FIA Cross Country Commission and a current board member of both organisations, to build and prepare his race winning vehicles. 1999 saw Möhr step up to a Class A Raceco, which he also prepared, with longstanding friend Mark Corbett with their best outing for the year being a third place in the Lesotho Roof of Africa.

  • Nuevo Doblete En El Dakar 2016
    INFORMACIÓN DE PRENSA 20/01/2016 MICHELIN en competición Nuevo doblete en el Dakar Michelin consigue, una vez más, la victoria en el rally más exigente del mundo, copando el podio en las categorías de coches y de motos. En esta 38ª edición, los nuevos neumáticos MICHELIN D16 han resistido la dureza de la prueba, contribuyendo de este modo al sexto triunfo de Stéphane Peterhansel (Peugeot/Michelin) en coches, mientras que el dúo MICHELIN Dessert Race/Bib Mousse han colaborado con el primer título para un piloto australiano con Toby Price (KTM/Michelin) en motos. Con este podio, Peterhansel iguala sus seis logros en moto, alcanzando doce victorias en el rally más prestigioso del mundo. El piloto francés ha dominado una edición en la que se ha adjudicado nueve etapas y ha conseguido que Peugeot vuelva al palmarés del Dakar, 26 años después del último éxito del constructor con Ari Vatanen. El podio en esta categoría, copado en sus tres puestos por Michelin, se completa con la segunda plaza para Nasser Al Attiyah (Mini/Michelin) y Giniel De Villiers (Toyota /Michelin). El triunfo de Michelin demuestra nuevamente la fortaleza innovadora del Grupo y su apuesta por la competición como campo real de pruebas para desarrollar las más avanzadas tecnologías que posteriormente se incorporarán a los neumáticos de serie. En esta 38ª edición, han debutado en el Dakar los nuevos MICHELIN D16, especialmente desarrollados para los cuatro Peugeot 2008 DKR, entre ellos el ganador. El MICHELIN D16 representa mucho más que una evolución del modelo anterior, el D15 del pasado año.

  • Hello Chile! Three-O-One Masters the Andes, Desert and Dunes the Quotes
    Media information 2013 Dakar Rally – #14 Hello Chile! Three-O-One masters the Andes, Desert and Dunes Copiapó, 17th January 2013 After an extremely demanding 2013 Dakar Rally stage which crossed the border between Argentina and Chile, Giniel de Villiers and Dirk von Zitzewitz can give each other a deserved pat on the back. On the 13 th “Dakar” day, the South African and his German co-driver mastered 319 stage kilometres featuring not only the event’s second crossing of the Andes, but the barren heat of the infamous Atacama Desert plus around 100 kilometres of extremely fine sand and loose dunes before reaching the finish. The reward for the 2009 “Dakar” winners: Yet another crucial step towards the “Dakar” finish in Santiago de Chile, a shortening of their deficit to leader Stéphane Peterhansel in the X-raid-Mini and simultaneous extension of their lead to 40:45 minutes over Nani Roma/Michel Périn, who displaced their X- raid-Mini team-mates Leonid Novitskiy/Konstantin Zhiltsov for third place. De Villiers and von Zitzewitz enjoyed a trouble-free run on the twelfth “Dakar” stage “even if the route was tougher than we thought it would be”, as the former put it. The South African-German co-production made up good time on the key section, preventing Peterhansel from pulling further away. Currently a deficit of 50:21 minutes separates Three-O-One from the lead, with 569 stage kilometres still facing “Ginny”, “Schnietz” and their Toyota Hilux. Friday’s route to La Serena consists of a tough, 441-kilometre test.
