Loeb and Elena still waiting for assistance

In eight hours, we have time to think. Sebastian Loeb and Daniel Elena are stopped in the middle of the sixth special stage of the Dakar after breaking the wishbone of the “Hunter”, their BRX prototype. While night has largely fallen, the two men wait patiently for assistance and take the opportunity to provide news.

“7 hours later in the middle of nowhere” said Daniel Elena on social networks. “Don’t worry, everything is fine with us. We are waiting to repair. We never give up, count on us to come back and win this Dakar! »

Sébastien Loeb also expressed his motivation to return. “Even after 8 hours in the desert in the middle of nowhere, 9 flat tires in 3 days, gardening and more gardening, the goal still remains to win this rally A day ".

For the moment Loeb and Elena have lost any chance of a good result this year.
