Memorable day for theAudi that in the eighth stage of the car category of the 44th edition of the Dakar placed three RSQ e-Trons in the first four places. First career success for Mattias Ekstrom, two-time winner of the DTM. The Swedish driver preceded his team mate Stéphane Peterhansel and Sebastien Loeb, fourth Carlos Sainz.
Positive day for the Frenchman of the BRX who recovered after one drilling suffered at the beginning of today’s stage. Same fate for the leader of the general Nasser Al-Attiyah, only tenth today ten minutes from the winner and now with almost 38 more minutes to manage against Sebastien Loeb. Mechanical problems for Lucio Alvarez, who thus loses fourth place in the overall standings. The technical knockout cost the Toyota driver over three hours late.
