Shubaytah > Haradh
Liaison > 365 km – Special > 379 km
The Empty Quarter, a vast expanse almost as big as France, boasts long, unbroken successions of dunes stretching for 80 kilometres. In contrast with yesterday, when the prevailing winds messed with stage 10, the weather today made the terrain far more hospitable as the increased humidity meant fewer competitors got stuck. The return trip to Haradh was raced at a much higher pace. This area serves as the crossroads from which the Dakar will leave the Empty Quarter and set course for Riyadh and Qiddiya.
This day and photo will be etched into our minds for many a year. Car #389 with Pablo Canto Martinez and co-driver Facundo Jaton became Southern Africa Hero’s today. Please click on the link below and find out more.
