  • Ignacio Casale secures second place
  • Ricardo Porém finishes fourth

Today’s menu for the drivers consisted of sand and dunes in the “Empty Quarter”. The 114 kilometre long stage was a foretaste of the two stages to come. The two crews Ignacio Casale / Alvaro Leon and Ricardo Porém / Augusto Sanz successfully completed this short visit. Casale finished the day in second place, Porém in fourth. Joao Ferreira and Filipe Palmeiro completed the success with eleventh place.

Yesterday Casale was still annoyed by technical problems, but today he is back at the front. The Chilean gave full throttle in the dunes right from the start and secured a sensational second place at the finish. He is still in tenth place in the overall standings. Porém also made it through the sand without any problems and took fourth place again.

Ricardo Porém: “Today was the first day in the Empty Quarter. We quickly found a good rhythm in the dunes. I am very happy about securing fourth place again.”

Tomorrow, the second marathon stage of the Dakar 2023 is on the agenda for the competitors. This time, however, they will have to manage completely without their mechanics. There will be no service after the stage. The 274 km long stage will mainly consist of sand and dunes.
