Dakar
  • 25/09/2023
Starting on a Sea Camp on the shores of the Red Sea and ending on the opposite side of the Arabian Peninsula, where the competitors will discover the coast of the Arabian Gulf after a four-day adventure through the Empty Quarter, including the marathon stage, the 45th edition of the Dakar is the toughest one since the rally came to Saudi Arabia. Packing almost 5,000 kilometres of specials into a prologue and 14 stages, the route is a true test of extreme endurance.

00:02 To be here is really a dream,
00:07 especially with the team and everything.
00:08 The pace is really amazing.
00:10 For me, the first day was quite a shock.
00:12 I was always around dirt bikes in the beginning
00:21 because my dad used to ride more across and some enduros.
00:25 My dad also competed in Dakar back in 2000,
00:28 and he was still in Africa and everything.
00:30 And when he came back, I said,
00:31 "Yeah, I'm never gonna do this race anymore."
00:33 (laughs)
00:35 And I always had this in the back of my mind.
00:37 I said, "Yeah, Dakar is a different beast."
00:39 (upbeat music)
00:42 Dirt bikes is probably one of the best sports
00:46 to help you get this feeling of where is the traction,
00:49 where can I brake,
00:50 how the bike will move in some specific case.
00:54 I definitely think that it helps me now
00:56 in my driving style for rallies.
00:59 I have been following Dakar for a long time,
01:03 even though when I was riding more across the Supercross,
01:05 I was already looking at all the footage.
01:08 But yeah, I would never take for granted to be here
01:10 and to race with all these legends.
01:13 I really enjoy it,
01:14 and I have been learning every day with them.
01:17 I have one right by my side that's Timo Bocsak,
01:19 so it has been really, really nice.
01:21 - Personally, he's a very nice guy,
01:24 and we enjoy a lot in the Dakar,
01:26 and he's quite clever,
01:27 and he's learning very quick.
01:28 So I think he can have a good future in Dakar,
01:31 a big future.
01:31 - I'm interested in conversation with Loeb
01:38 that he passed us,
01:39 and we managed to latch on him a little bit.
01:42 I was trying to learn,
01:43 like it was a master class.
01:45 And we got to the conversation,
01:47 and he came to my door and said,
01:47 "Hey, you like to follow me, huh?"
01:49 But in a good mood.
01:50 So for me, it was like unbelievable
01:53 to have this conversation with Loeb.
01:56 - Finishing third place on Dakar 2023
01:58 means Lucas is now the most successful Brazilian
02:01 ever in cars,
02:02 surpassing the previous record of Clever Kohlberg.
02:05 - Clever also sends me messages almost every day,
02:07 so I have the pleasure to receive some encouragement
02:11 from him.
02:12 He's the best results at the moment,
02:16 eighth, I think, overall in 2002.
02:17 So those guys are legends.
02:19 Those guys made it first,
02:21 so I really respect them.
