LANDAU/RALLY RAID FINISH THE DAKAR!!

Dear All, Ben Metcalfe of Landau uk and Paul Round of Rally Raid finished the Dakar in 61st position out of 91 finishers!

After 2 hard weeks of racing including a broken prop shaft, diff, and a couple of clutches Ben and Paul have finished the Dakar.  After a couple of hours sleep per night the guys are due a well earned rest.  All the way through they have remained optimistic and having a great time in a truly amazing country as the pictures below illustrate.

Landau UK would like to thank everyone who emailed in with words of support and encouragment for the team.  What a fantastic experience and an amazing race!!!

I hope to have a report from Ben soon when he returns, about the race with the highs and lows of this incredible event.
