Kamaz Gained Serious Ground Toward Iveco In Dakar Stage 9
Kamaz Gained Serious Ground Toward Iveco In Dakar Stage 9-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:29

DustyVentures seems to be occupied, so here's your Truck Yeah! roundup of the ninth stage at Dakar.

The video above is the truck and quad summary, and here are the puny "cars" and bikes:

Looks like the Russians Karginov, Mokeev, and Devyatkin in the Red Bull Kamaz were faster than De Rooy's Iveco once again, closing the gap on the teal truck ahead. Kamaz had the #1, #3, and #4 spots at the end of the stage with Iveco in second.

Stéphane Peterhansel crushed it again coming in at #1 his MINI ALL4, with teammate Nasser Al-Attiyah 2:17 behind at #2. Positions #3 and #4 were also MINIs... they're not messing around.

Robby Gordon fell out of the top ten after getting stuck in soft sand. He was almost two hours behind Peterhansel when he completed the stage.

Cyril Despres had his first stage win on his Yamaha, but leader Marc Coma maintained "near-perfect riding" to keep his top spot in the overall standings.

Dutchman Husseini led the quads on his Honda, three Yamahas were about half a minute behind.

Rankings for all competitors are on .

Cars And Characters At This Apocalyptic Hellscape Party Are Terrifying
I'd describe "Wasteland Weekend" as "" with a post-apocalyptic anarchy theme, but I think that might be redundant. It does take the Mad Max thing to a whole 'nother level though; with a fleet of horrifying cars and weapon-clad characters that just looks like... a lot of fun. Basically, it's...

Google Has A Street View Camel
In an effort to get "more authentic" (and these great press photos) Google strapped their Trekker camera to a 10-year-old camel named Raffia and dealt with the stink, spit, and bad attitude so you don't have to! The idea behind the exercise is supposedly to bring some tourist attention to...

Despite Flood Of Rumors, Ford Says 'No Small Pickups, No New US Ranger'
USA Today's car guy got one Ford's marketing executives to muse on the idea of a new, small truck "the size of the old Ranger" and we all got a little fired up. Unfortunately, Ford say that executive's views "are not shared by the company." Here's the quote that's been...
