I posted a lot of that class, Dakar Classic, but I don't remember them saying they were on a different course. Pretty cool retro stuff they race.

Yeah they did. I was talking about the year before. They could have talked about running a different course, but I didn't hear it. It's a great idea and should get some more amateurs involved.

2021 was the first year of the Classic Rally class and they had 21 cars and 3 trucks entered.
For Dakar 2022 the Classic Rally class has 134 cars and 18 trucks entered. Should be a hoot and holler.

Joan Lascorz was paralyzed in a Superbike testing crash in 2012. He'll return to motorsports and compete in the Dakar following a successful crowdfunding.

Enjoy watching this every year. The talent, the landscape, but I feel bad for competitors that drop out early or have no chance for a decent finish because of something gone wrong.

No kidding, the scenery is spectacular, the desert is not fit for man or beast but so strikingly beautiful

Entered in the Classic Class. Pretty crazy, double cab truck

Damn, Danilo Petrucci is out already

Actually he managed to continue despite the technical issues and finished 3rd in today's stage.
Not bad for someone who is completely new to this kind of motorsport.

Danilo Petrucci has won today's stage. Maybe he's gonna make a 2nd career out of this.
Peterhansel in the futuristic Audi is out as well. He will be allowed to continue, but his times won't count toward the overall classification.

Sheesh! Glad those guys are alright. There's been a few of those end over end wrecks and happily the guys were ok.
