00:02 - It's my first time in America.
00:03 Also my first time in Polaris factory department,
00:08 Wyoming, Minnesota.
00:09 So we are really happy to start a great adventure.
00:12 (upbeat music)
00:14 Polaris is one of the brand you know forever, yes.
00:20 So be part of this and meet all the people
00:24 who design the car, build the car,
00:26 here and for the engineer.
00:28 It's crazy.
00:29 (upbeat music)
00:32 Polaris has been racing Dakar like about seven or eight
00:37 years with our satellite teams.
00:39 And Extreme Plus has been a really good partner with us.
00:43 We're out here at Sebastian Loeb Racing.
00:45 This is our first year with them racing our factory car.
00:48 (upbeat music)
00:51 What's exciting about today I guess is the fact
00:56 that we get the opportunity to work
00:57 with Sebastian Loeb's race team.
00:59 So it's super stoked to get the feedback on the car
01:01 and kind of understand where we're at now
01:04 and where we need to be.
01:05 (upbeat music)
01:08 - It was the first Dakar for the team.
01:16 So last year we discovered the car the week before the race.
01:19 Everything was new.
01:21 So we learned a lot.
01:22 We arrived sometime by night under the rain, in the mud.
01:28 This year the car seems to be very competitive.
01:31 We can do something good.
01:32 - Our car is built completely designed
01:36 and built completely in house.
01:38 Using all of the lessons learned and a bunch of engineering
01:42 and analysis to make it happen.
01:45 We have a longer travel suspension
01:50 that's based off the Pro R.
01:52 Totally different cockpit layout, bigger fuel tank.
01:55 The engine is the biggest difference probably.
01:57 And our race car is the two liter four cylinder.
02:00 - It's a dream to be part of the factory program.
02:08 It's also not just a one year short.
02:11 It's a multi-year program.
02:13 So it's very exciting.
02:16 - We want to win.
02:17 We want to dominate.
02:18 We want to be number one
02:19 and be done in number one dominating fashion.
02:21 We don't want to just win the race.
02:22 We want to win by an hour.
02:24 - The most important is to participate.
02:27 No, no, the most important is to try to win.
02:30 And also I think Polaris think the same.
02:32 If they build this car, it's to win
02:34 and to beat the other, the concurrence.
