Peugeot Wins Gruelling 2016 Dakar
This victory is the latest chapter in a compelling story of motor sport success for Peugeot, which includes four Dakar wins in Africa between 1987 and 1990, as well as success in various other events that include the Le Mans 24 Hours, Pikes Peak and the World Rally Championship.This win will go down in history for PEUGEOT, which triumphed at only its second participation in South America. A total of three PEUGEOT 2008 DKRs reached the finish ramp.
An overall result like this would never have been possible without all the team members helping each other, or without those real heroes in the shadows: the indefatigable mechanics.Cyril Despres, who drove an excellent rally in only his second participation on four wheels and contributed to one of Peugeot's seven one-twos, also became a guardian angel for his teammates, helping them out of trouble on more than one occasion. These made for powerfulimages, which have contributed to the Dakar's legend of sportsmanship and fraternity.
