00:00 Dakar 2006, my first Dakar.
00:10 The reason for my participation in the first Dakar, well I would blame it on Colin McRae,
00:15 because Colin, who one year didn't have a car in the World Rally Championship, said
00:20 to himself "I'm going to do the Dakar".
00:23 He told me "Carlos, you're going to like the Dakar.
00:28 You have to try it, it's a race that suits your way of thinking, your style".
00:35 And he encouraged me a lot.
00:36 And when I finished the World Rally Championship, the history of the World Rally Championship,
00:41 I said to myself "let's try to win Dakar".
00:44 To be the first Spaniard to win the Dakar in cars, I was excited.
00:48 It wasn't that much of a surprise.
01:02 The truth is that I was more or less expecting what I later found.
01:10 I managed to win stages, I was fast.
01:16 Three victories in four stages.
01:19 Yes, but well, the Dakar, as you all know, or not, as all the experts say, starts in
01:25 Mauritania.
01:32 I was happy with my first participation.
01:34 I liked it.
01:36 I suffered because my clutch broke and I had a lot of problems.
01:41 It was a good Dakar baptism.
01:46 Yes, tired, 500 km at night.
01:55 That's racing.
01:56 That's the Dakar.
02:01 But it was very good.
02:02 I learned and it encouraged me to try to keep doing it.
02:06 And well, that's how it was.
02:09 I'm happy with it.
02:11 I'm happy.
02:18 I'm happy.
