11 fois champion de France d’Enduro
He will be forever associated with the Dakar. Stéphane Peterhansel has been a stalwart of the most famous rally-raid in the world for 30 years. He is the record holder for victories, with six on two-wheels and seven on four for a total of 13 and has produced more than his fair share of the greatest moments in the history of the event. “I can’t live without it”. ’Mister Dakar’ last won two years ago with Peugeot. But after the withdrawal of the French carmaker, the veteran spent a long time thinking about the future of his career. Always looking for a new challenge, he mused for quite a while about entering with his wife as his co-driver. But because she suffers from an inner ear issue, the project has been postponed for a year. So, Stéphane decided to return behind the wheel of a Mini, with David Castera. Peterhansel won the Dakar with the German X-Raid team in 2012 and 2013 and who is to say he can’t do it again this time?
‘‘I wasn’t sure to return at the start of the year. But as time went by, I began to miss the adrenaline rush and competition. I decided to return to racing with a team I know well. I have always had fond memories of Peru and its massive sand dunes. This lets us to rediscover the real Dakar spirit, with scenery similar to Mauritania. If we have to do a Dakar in just one country, Peru is definitely the best suited. The short stages will force the favourites to not lose time. Every delay and every time you get stuck will be costly. I have a lot of fun with a buggy and the car seems fast to me.”

Drama in the car race on the eve of the finish in Lima. 13-time champion Stéphane Peterhansel, who started the stage in fourth place overall, is dropping out of the rally just 26 kilometres into the special after his co-driver David Castera hurt his back.
The Mini driver was second in the general standings at the start in San Juan de Marcona, but has been overtaken by his team-mate Nani Roma due to two driving mistakes.
“It was not an easy stage this morning. The first part was really fast and we overtook a few motorcycles, so we entered the dunes first. It was really complicated to do the navigation with no lines...
Stéphane Peterhansel needed to gain plenty of time back over Nasser Al-Attiyah to maintain a hope of outright victory in Lima. However, exactly the opposite has happened on arrival in Pisco because the Mini driver has lost 24 minutes to his rival in a Toyota. Peterhansel now trails by 53 minutes in the general standings.
Nasser Al-Attiyah has opened up a gap on his rivals thanks to his clever handling of the first dunes around Ica. The Toyota driver has a lead of 6 minutes over Giniel de Villiers and Jakub Przygonski, but more importantly his advantage over Stéphane Peterhansel is 14 minutes!
The 13-time Dakar champion took back some time with his stage 7 win, but he has a hard time seeing himself victorious in Lima.
"At the beginning, we jumped over a dune, which damaged the bonnet and left us with a bad case of whiplash. Navigating was tricky, but I think we did well because we gained time on everyone. We got a bit closer to Nasser, but it'll be very...
Stéphane Peterhansel has grabbed his second stage win in the 2019 Dakar by 4'33" over Nani Roma and 12 minutes over Nasser Al-Attiyah. The Qatari defended his overall lead in San Juan de Marcona.
Stéphane Peterhansel still holds a margin of about 3 minutes over Nani Roma at WP5. Things are tighter 10 minutes behind the Frenchman, with Carlos Sainz, Cyril Despres and Giniel De Villiers within seconds of one another.
Stéphane Peterhansel has managed to pull himself 3 minutes clear of Nani Roma after 200 km. Cyril Despres is third, six minutes back, while Nasser Al-Attiyah is playing it safe ten minutes behind the leader of the special.
