“We are a great pairing - just like husband and wife!”
After successfully completing his first four-wheel Dakar Rally in 2022, Pail Spierings and co-driver Jan-Pieter van der Stelt are hoping the benefit of a year’s experience behind the wheel of their Dakar Team Spierings Can-Am Maverick will yield an improved result. Having gone it alone for three years in the motorcycle category, Spierings’ switch to the T4 class yielded an objective-fulfilled 21st place finish first time out, but for 2023 he is eyeing up a top ten result.
Paul Spierings: “Sometimes you are born for something and want to make this passion your lifestyle - now I am just trying to make my hobby my job. On two wheels I couldn’t afford this, so after three years we decided to go with the buggy. Now I want to keep on building momentum and be successful, maybe get on the podium as a privateer and be invited to join a factory team
“I am hoping for a top ten or seven result. Myself and Jan-Pieter are a great team. We listen carefully to each other, accept each other and we speak about everything. We are just like husband and wife!
“My actual wife and kids don't like Dakar because I'm always away, but they support me, while my friends think it's cool but have no idea how much energy it takes to complete it!”
