rpd1985

History of the race :

Special first in Algeria and first slaughter.
Some favorites as Ickx, Metge and Rahier are delayed d & rsquo; others like Thérier and Baron are victims of falls.
The start of the rally is dominated by Bacou and & rsquo; Colsoul-Lopes crew.
At the gates of the Ténéré, between Agadez and Iferouane, l & rsquo; private crew Raymondis-Bos wins the scratch driving his Range before the Zaniroli Mitsubishi and Porsche Metge.
Agadez-Dirkou where the first part of the Santos de Cartier raid in the heart of the Ténéré. Belgian Jacky Ickx, great beneficiary of the day, now points to second place overall behind compatriot Colsoul.
L & rsquo; following step between Agadez and Dirkou is the big piece of the raid with 1150 km.
Zaniroli advantage of the penalty imposed on Metge and mechanical problems of Ickx to be closer to the general Colsoul.
The dream goes to Colsoul victim of mechanical failure but also navigation. It loses its leadership in favor of two Mitsubishi Pajero Zaniroli and Cowan.
If & rsquo; Italian Picco is leading the overall, c & rsquo; is an American, Chuck Stearns, which collects performance and scratches. He will sign five in this edition.
By truck, the domination of De Rooy-De Saulieu and their DAF is outrageous.
L & rsquo; stage between Tichit and Nema is certainly the most formidable and the most feared with 500 kilometers firm tracks, collapsed and furrowed by rain. For the first time since the rally, l & rsquo; race was interrupted because d & rsquo; a violent sandstorm.
The last step has reserved a final surprise. The unfortunate De Rooy bailed d & rsquo; a penalty of fifteen hours following a puncture, and & rsquo; Capito-Capito crew takes the lead.
A Dakar, Capito thus triumph in the company of Zaniroli and Rahier.
Third consecutive victory for BMW after Auriol and Rahier 1983 and 1984.
Thierry Sabine is winner. He won his bet by proposing a rally where 4×4 Porsche dominated the. The Raymondis amateurs and Boostels signed three fastest time.

  1. I remember,being in Secondary 4 class, I attended the closing ceremony of the rally in 1985 at the Savana hotel in Salut Senegal, I was in the company of Gana Ngom. The animation was provided by the late En Hadj Doudou Ndiaye Coumba Ose and his beating drum. It was wonderful
