Dakar – Stéphane Peterhansel still at a standstill

Stéphane Peterhansel was again betrayed by the mechanics of his Audi RS Q e-tron hybrid and is now waiting for his assistance truck. This Dakar is definitely not his. Three days after his disappointment in the first special (rear axle broken after 1 km), “Monsieur Dakar” experienced another problem this Wednesday, January 153. “We broke the shock absorber right after landing, explains the Frenchman. It also broke the engine's water-cooling system. We have to wait for our support truck to receive a new shock absorber and also to repair the cooling system. I think we will be here for a long time. »
