The Dakar leaves incredible images. If the first day it was the estuaries that even managed to catch Christina Gutierrez, now the dunes have arrived. A classic of this competition.
In the last few hours, a video of Carlos Sainz climbing the dunes with his Audi. He climbs an almost vertical wall and has to fight the car to stay up and at speed.
It was the stage on Wednesday, in which Sainz finished fourth and shaved a few seconds off Nasser Al-Attiyah.
The general has been complicated for the Spanish especially after the day on Wednesday. In it he had up to two important stoppages: one for a rear wheel problem left and the other for a puncture.
But despite the problems and being far behind in the standings, Sainz continues to fight. Just look at the pictures climbing with his Audi through the dunes.
David Castera said that today they were going to find “mountains of sand” very difficult to overcome… and this is a good test.
But @CSainz_oficial, @LucasCruz74 and the Audi RS Q e-tron E2 can with everything. 🤩#Dakar #Dakar2023 pic.twitter.com/r36vBR9az7
