Dakar – Stéphane Peterhansel will do it again with the X-Raid team

He will still be there. Stéphane Peterhansel will once again defend the colors of the X-Raid team in 2014 aboard a Mini All-4-Racing. The Frenchman, who joined Sven Quandt's team in 2009, notably won two of his eleven Dakars, in 2012 and 2013 with the German team and his co-driver Jean-Paul Cottret. He will try to win a twelfth victory to further establish his legend on the famous rally-raid which will begin on January 5 from Rosario, Argentina.

“We are delighted to race the Dakar again in 2014 together with Stéphane,” commented Sven Quandt. “The reliability of the Mini All-4-Racing is unique,” added Stéphane Peterhansel. “In two Dakars, we have not encountered the slightest technical problem. Not only thanks to a very good car but also thanks to the entire team which does extremely professional work throughout the Dakar. Despite the heat, sand and extreme pressure, everyone works tirelessly. »
