The PEUGEOT 3008DKR drivers find their marks

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

With probably more to lose than to gain on today’s brief appetiser, Team Peugeot Total preferred a cautious start to the 2017 Dakar. Today’s opener produced a trouble-free run for the team and its four crews all reached the overnight halt in Argentina inside the provisional top 12.

• The first leg of the 2017 included a short, narrow stage (39km) as the four PEUGEOT #3008dkr crews headed south out of Paraguay en route to the event’s first overnight halt in Resistencia, Argentina.
• The Dakar’s first visit to Paraguay (the 30th country to have hosted the rally) may have been short but it turned out to be an intense experience. All four Team Peugeot Total crews commented on how tricky the stage’s opening kilometres were but none of the French Dream Team members reported any major problems.

• In keeping with the regulations, the times posted on today’s test will decide the starting order for Tuesday’s stage. The PEUGEOT #3008dkr will be fourth, sixth, eighth and twelfth on the road for tomorrow’s run from Resistencia to San Miguel de Tucumàn. The 803km leg will include 275km of against-the-clock action.
TYPE OF TERRAIN: narrow, tricky tracks and water splashes. WEATHER: dry and hot (34°C). AVERAGE SPEED: 100kph. TOP SPEED REACHED: 180kph.
