Peterhandsel said:
“This is a huge satisfaction for us. Before the start, a result like this was far from guaranteed”. “My feeling was that the team was still a bit young but in fact everything came together extremely well. We had the nice surprise of seeing that our car was extremely competitive throughout the WRC-style stages”.
Peugeot Sport direction (Bruno Famin) stated: “The results have surpassed our expectations because we came here just to show the performance of the car. And we’ve achieved that objective well throughout all different types of conditions. That goes to show that we have accomplished the technical mission that we set ourselves”.
The 2008 DKR is based on the popular Peugeot 2008 urban crossover and if a Dakar 2016 win doesn’t convince you to try one for yourself, we don’t know what will.
