Carlos Sainz: Dakar Victory Out of Reach, But a True Symbol of Sportsmanship!



What a sportsman! The 4-time Dakar Champion saw his hopes of victory buried in the Saudi Arabian sand after just a few days. Yet, Carlos Sainz Sr. remains a shining example of passion, determination, and sportsmanship. During the brutal 48-hour stage, he lost half of his Ford T1 Raptor to a rollover in the desert. Despite a flat tire, navigation issues, and a time penalty, he pushes on relentlessly. With no windshield, shielding his face with his hand, he hurtles toward the finish line in Bisha at nearly 200 km/h.

This unwavering spirit shows true champions never get discouraged. Sainz is now 1.5 hours behind Henk Lategan (ZAF), followed by Yazeed Al-Rajhi (KSA) and Nasser Al-Attiyah (QAT). Meanwhile, Daniel Sanders (AUS) continues to dominate in the motorcycle category.

🏁 Stay tuned!
