00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:01 Welcome to Dakar 2024.
00:05 The story of the day in Dakar Classic has several chapters.
00:09 Chapter one, how not to negotiate a monster dune.
00:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:41 We try to go on this dune, but I didn't expect this.
00:46 It's so cut, just after the edge.
00:50 So we went down through the edge,
00:54 and we stop on the front of the car and flip over.
00:58 Speed was not very good, but it was enough to roll over.
01:02 But we are OK.
01:03 Maybe not mentally, but physically it's OK.
01:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:21 We will try to come this way with the truck.
01:26 Minimal force.
01:27 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:47 What is the plan now?
01:49 Now we'll be towed to the service area.
01:51 This truck will help us.
01:53 This Dakar, we helped people on the first day.
01:56 They rolled over, we helped them.
01:58 Now this karma came back to us.
02:00 We are happy.
02:02 We can go!
02:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:12 And so to chapter two, how to make
02:15 your life more difficult in a vintage Renault of 1982.
02:23 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
02:29 Oh, I can't believe it.
02:32 What's wrong?
02:33 We're stuck again.
02:35 Doesn't matter.
02:37 Irritates me.
02:38 Why are you going out?
02:40 You're going to see what's happening.
02:43 [ENGINE REVVING]
02:46 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
02:47 [ENGINE REVVING]
02:51 [ENGINE REVVING]
03:00 I won't tell you because it'll annoy you,
03:02 but the waypoint is 80 meters away.
03:05 And my door isn't closing at all.
03:06 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
03:10 Are we on four by four?
03:11 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
03:13 Let's go.
03:13 [ENGINE REVVING]
03:17 Off we go.
03:18 [ENGINE REVVING]
03:23 Ah, I know why.
03:24 We forgot to touch our lucky charm.
03:27 Did you touch the tiger tail?
03:29 I did.
03:32 What are you saying?
03:33 That didn't bring us luck, did it?
03:35 [ENGINE REVVING]
03:41 So this is what's happening.
03:44 We lost a wheel at the end of the special,
03:47 not far from the finish.
03:49 So we're going to spend the night in the desert.
03:55 Michel is happy because we could really
03:57 do with some sleep after these last few days.
04:00 We're going to have a nice sleep in.
04:03 We did a fire.
04:05 We have enough wood for the night.
04:08 And everything should be OK.
04:10 [ENGINE REVVING]
04:15 And we'll have fun memories.
04:17 You want crisps?
04:24 [CRUNCHING]
04:27 [ENGINE REVVING]
04:31 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:34 (whooshing)
