  • For Toyota Gazoo Racing, Dakar 2024 was the 14th time they had competed in this legendary race, which they won in 2023 and 2022. I joined them in 2024 to see if they could make it three in a row..

    I thought this years Dakar TV coverage was fantastic but, as ever, Harry has knocked this out of the park with brilliant behind the scenes footage along with amazing chats with the teams involved…. Top notch!!

      I think Harry's more likely to 'hit it for six' [cricket] than 'knock it out of the park' [baseball]...

    Carlos Sainz winning the Dakar at 61.. what a legend; I've been following his rally career since the 80's.

    Those bikes squirrelling at full chat! Madness. It takes a certain lack of a sense of self preservation to do that.

  • @Slingshotgixxer
    @Slingshotgixxer 4 місяці тому +27

    Anyone who has rode a motorcycle off road can fully appreciate the skill and confidence of those bikers riding in those conditions at that speed while also navigating for hours on end day after day , its truly amazing.

    It's mighty encouraging to see Gazoo Racing sporting a 3.5L turbocharged V6. No doubt it drinks fuel, but the noise is just awesome.

    Great stuff! The cars blazing across the sand look pretty hairy, but the bikes must be brutal and scary. Mind you, my closest experience would be on a scooter in Asia, heading down a track to the beach :P
    Usually not on full throttle!

    Two takeaways from this incredible video:
    1. Toyota deserved far more credit than they received for the generous invitation and unbelievable access. More brand plugging would have been totally justified and appropriate.
    2. The Mohican should have been bright red.

    Great video! Thank you Harry. I may have said it already, but I am so greatful that you don't put any muzak in these videos. So many times I hear ytbers say "just listen to this engine sound" and dump some shitty tune in the mix "to spice it up". Big THANK YOU for letting us hear the engines!
