The X-raid team can look back on a successful first week of the Dakar. Five of the six legs so far have been won by cars built by X-raid. Furthermore, Carlos Sainz and Lucas Cruz (both ESP) lead the overall standings in their MINI JCW Buggy. Their Bahrain JCW X-raid team-mates, Stéphane Peterhansel (FRA) and Paulo Fiuza (POR), currently lie third overall.
Argentineans Orlando “Orly” Terranova and Bernardo “Ronnie” Graue enter week two in fifth place overall, having led the rally at one point. Saudi driver Yasir Seaidan and his Russian co-driver Alexey Kuzmich ended the first half of the race in ninth place.
Vaidotas Zala and Saulius Jurgelenas produced the greatest surprise so far at the very start of the event: The Lithuanian pair won the very first leg of the Dakar on Saudi soil in their MINI John Cooper Works Rally. They are currently 19th overall.
