Watch Carlos Sainz Crash Out Of A Dakar Stage And Into A Ravine
We didn’t particularly need more proof that the Dakar Rally is not to be messed with , but here’s some anyway.
Two time WRC champion and 2010 Dakar Winner Carlos Sainz crashed out of the Jujuy-Tupiza stage and into a ravine yesterday, narrowly missing two spectators precariously positioned on the edge of the dirt road.
We’re guessing the footage below was shot by one of the said spectators, and it makes for sphincter-tightening viewing.
Remarkably, Sainz and co-driver Lucas Cruz were able to get the stricken Peugeot 3008DKR back to the service area, but the car was deemed unrepairable and has now been retired.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I’m pretty sure it’s “Father?” since Carlos Sainz Sr. is about 20 years older than him.
Those people shouldnt be standing there
Well, would you be running arround the whole Dakar route and say to everybody they need to stand at a safe place.
No they we’re fine there its just that THEY RECORDED VERTICALLY.
Lmao looks like Motorstorm:Monument Valley

I don’t know which was worse…. The video quality or the fact that he was standing there in the first place
Definitely video quality

Wow
Imagine if it was a volvo

“Eartquake with force 8 on richter scale strikes South-America”
It would be just fine after the crash.
