🗣 'Carlos [Sainz] always tries to complain about a lot of things' 🤨 Defending DakarRally champion Nasser Al-Attiyah turns up the heat ahead of Saturday's start in Saudi Arabia 👇 Dakar2023
After making a stage-winning debut last year, Audi’s hybrid-electric RS Q e-tron E2 will be at least 100kg heavier than its direct rivals in the German manufacturer’s second outing in Saudi Arabia.
No such change has been made to petrol-powered cars that dominate the T1+ category and fight with T1U vehicles for overall wins, with their minimum weight remaining at 2,000kg.– as the internal combustion-powered rivals will have burned through their fuel load, but Toyota driver Al-Attiyah dismissed his theory.
“Toyota has the gears, and in every change you lose a second. But it's similar, and it's good to have the new electric generation.”Al-Attiyah said that a power reduction since last year will play a part in equalizing the field and doesn’t believe the Audi has been penalized too much.“The power is not like the last Dakar, but it is for everyone. It looks like we all have the same, but we'll see, I think up front it will be the skills of the driver and co-driver that will matter.
“And the performance of BRX is very strong, so Loeb will be very strong, and also Carlos and the Audis. We just need to see the performance after three days of the Dakar.
