00:30This car is a classic
00:32So my name is Stuart
00:34I am the owner of this car
00:36I have a big car
00:38And this is my first car
00:40And this is my first action

00:59It's quite a learning curve.
01:05I thought that the adaptation would be much quicker, but every day we have to learn something
01:09and usually the hard way.
01:39We are happy that we survived and we were surprised that we stayed on third position
01:55in general.
02:12We were struggling as well a lot with some technical points and also with the navigation,
02:18so it was quite a hard first week.
02:36We are here with almost two hours leading in half of Dakar, so what else to have in
02:43the middle of Dakar.
02:53So during the rest day we are checking the whole truck, checking the oil, checking the
02:57turbocharger, checking everything around it, changing for the new stuff, also checking
03:02the whole suspension thing, the springs, the wheels are changing, that's pretty much it
03:07what we are doing, checking and changing everything what we can for the second half.
03:18I think we need to be patient and drive our own pace, because with our pace we cannot
03:23close the gap with almost two hours, so we will see, we will keep going.
03:37Now I am one year older, so it will be only nice times coming right now for our whole
03:43crew, I am pretty convinced and the truck is pretty fast, I am looking forward for the
04:49We just lost power, so second day in a row we are stopping, very annoying, we had made
06:39it.
06:51You cannot see where we are going to go, because there is always the edge down and
06:55you don't know what spots below, so it will be very, very interesting for the opening
06:59truck, yeah it will be really tough.
07:02We have to pray and to believe and to do our best.
08:02We couldn't do better, we are happy that we are on the podium healthily and with five
08:14stage victories at the maximum.
08:17It was amazing to start all together, two years ago we were fourth, last year third,
08:22now second, so next year it needs to happen.
08:27We were kind of, not sure, but confident in our results, in our success.
