00:00It's a different adventure than what we are used to, but yeah, I'm looking forward.
00:15A new adventure for Erik van Loon who returns to the Dakar in a vintage Audi, but in a classic
00:20mode.
00:22Beautiful cars and competitive crews for this fifth edition of this regularity rally, and
00:27a quest for a second consecutive success for Carlos Santaolalla who had to settle for second
00:31spot on the opening day behind the Porsche of Juan Morera.
00:37In his Mitsubishi Pajero, Marcos Leva is enjoying his third Dakar Classic and doing so with
00:42his wife Alexia.
00:48But this first day on the Dakar was all but an easy drive in the desert, especially for
00:53the old Peugeot 205 diesel of French crew Denis Fercocq and Jean-Marc Lochtneau.
01:03We came in just too slowly, but calmly we got stuck.
01:08We've been told that it would be difficult, but this is hard.
01:12Hey, go and answer.
01:15Yes?
01:16Why are you stopped?
01:19Because we're stuck in the sand.
01:20We're okay.
01:21Are you going to continue?
01:23Yeah, in 10 minutes we're off again.
01:26We're being watched, very well taken care of.
