Stéphane Peterhansel isn’t called “Mr. Dakar” for nothing as he is now tied with Ari Vatanen for the most car stage wins in Dakar Rally history with 50 after claiming Stage 2.

The 2024 Dakar Rally is already shaping up to be slugfest as a challenging Prologue was followed by a disastrous opening stage for many contenders and near-tragedy.
