The peugeot 3008dkr notches up its first dakar stage win
After a cautious start to the 2017 Dakar #rally on Monday, Sébastien Loeb hit the ground running on Day 2 to win the event’s second stage which formed part of today’s run from Resistencia to San Miguel de Tucuman. The Frenchman’s PEUGEOT #3008dkr has gone straight to the top of the provisional leaderboard as a result.
• Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena revealed their determination by posting the fastest time up to today’s first Passage Control, and they continued to set the pace over the remainder of the 275km test. Their victory has taken them 28 seconds clear at the top of tonight’s standings.
• The 2017 Dakar Rally’s second competitive section was essentially a high-speed affair which enabled the aerodynamic changes to the 3008DKRs to reveal their value as Loeb’s teammate Carlos Sainz completed the distance in third place.
• Stéphane Peterhansel and Cyril Despres had a tougher day, however. Cyril lost the antenna of his Sentinel system which warns drivers ahead of him on the road that he is close behind, while Stéphane had to cope with an unfavourable running order.
