00:00The Dakar Classic is a race like no other, with its own vehicles and own specific rules.

00:20The Dakar Classic is a rally raid, vintage vehicle version and regularity version.

00:29The sporting aspect has three main elements, the regularity tests, the navigation tests

00:34and the dune tests, where we're going to see the capacity of crossing the dunes.

00:49On the Dakar Classic, each crew has a paper roadbook and a digital roadbook, which has

00:53the same things than on the paper, but with additional information based on the position

00:58of the vehicle, and that will help, especially when you do regularity.

01:03As soon as you move away from the track, you will be signalled.

01:06Why did we do that?

01:08Because the interest of regularity isn't to lose yourself, for that we have navigation

01:12tests.

01:13That's when we check and we get rid of that help.

01:16Once they're on track, they will have to follow average speed, that will vary as the day goes

01:20by.

01:23It will evolve based on the type of terrain, if it's sinuous and tricky, we'll bring the

01:27average down, and if it's easily drivable, we'll make it faster.

01:36That's what's interesting, to add regularity to the Dakar, because Rally Raid has endless

01:40possibilities of problems on the stage.

01:43It's part of the game, and that means time loss.

01:47And that's why we don't design stages of 400km of regularity, because we know that breaking

01:52apart means it's almost over for the crew.

01:54We segment our regularity tests.

02:00And if there's a big issue, and the competitor loses time, he'll be able to reset the counters

02:05for the next test.

02:13How do you win?

02:14On the modern Dakar, it's based on time.

02:16The lowest time I have, the better I am.

02:18On the classic, it's points, but the principle is the same.

02:20The less points I have, the better I am.

02:23So it's based on penalties.

02:24The further behind or ahead of the schedule I am, on the ideal time, the more I get penalty

02:30points.

02:31And in navigation, the more I miss a waypoint and get the direction wrong, the more I get

02:36penalty points.

02:38And at this big desert game, the leader remains Carlos Santaolalia, a master of regularity

02:43and navigation.
