Losing Half Your Dakar Machine To A Crash Is No Big Deal If You’re Sebastien Loeb
Loeb suffered a hefty crash on stage 8 of the fearsome Dakar rally, but still managed to get to the finish - albeit with a few parts of his Peugeot Dakar machine missing...
Unfortunately due to this crash and another incident for Loeb on stage 9, his shot at a Dakar victory is realistically over.
Oh, and make sure you watch closely at the 44sec mark to see the 2008 DKR16 shed another part as it tackles the rally’s ridiculously tough terrain!
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

You’re a bit late on this guys, happened 3 days ago.. A lot has gone on in the Dakar since then..
If it ain’t broke we’ll finish the race
MANIAC!
Am I the only on that read this in JEZZA’s voice???
Why your car is missing the front and the back?
Weight reduction bro
Goes to show that nowadays modern cars have too many unnecessary bits!
While I agree with you, using this particular vehicle to demonstrate that point doesn’t work… There’s virtually nothing stock here.
He was behind and need to lose some weight. This was the quickest solution
Guinness book of world records
Biggest balls: Sebastian Loéb
It’s not broken, it’s a Ford Ka
why they still call it DAKAR? it has nothing to do with DAKAR or Africa anymore.they should call it Patagonia or something.
Because everyone knows it as the Dakar, it’s a staple name in motorsport!
