Mechanical woes drop SA's Giniel de Villiers from fourth to eighth in SA-built Hilux

10 January 2022 - 13:42Nasser Al-Attiyah leads the Dakar Rally in the SA-built Toyota Hilux. Picture: SUPPLIED

Al Attiyah, chasing his fourth Dakar title in the desert dunes, was second in the 402km timed seventh stage from the capital Riyadh west to Al Dawadimi but more than five minutes slower than Loeb. He and navigator Dennis Murphy set about repairing their stricken car with the aid of teammates Henk Lategan and Brett Cummings. The four-man team managed to repair the Hilux, and secured engine oil from good Samaritan competitors before driving to the end of the stage together.

Despite being out of podium contention due to mechanical and navigation problems, Audi has made an auspicious Dakar rally debut with its three RS Q e-tron electric hybrid cars, scoring six podium finishes including victory in stage four by Carlos Sainz and navigator Lucas Cruz.
