I was born in 1989 and I just started to watch races in 2001 but I can see those times (80s, early 90s) were wonderful times to be an engineer (F1 Turbo Era, Group B, Group C, Dakar, etc.).

No, the most insane moment was when one of these DAF twinturbo trucks hit a sand-dune at the speed of 180km/h, rolled over/shattered and threw out one of the crew members who instantly died. And this truck weighted like how much? over 10 tons?

@Jan Nowak When one realizes that Ari Vatanen was one of the great rally drivers (1981 champion) and the one who drove that very Peugeot 405 T16 to the Pikes Peak record it's incredibly to think a *truck* (!!) overtook him.
Thats what 2 six cilinder engines with 4 turbo's do :). One for the front axle, one for the rear. Insane truck. 1200 hp in total, 600 for each engine, with a top speed of 220km/h.
@@tigervv6437 I didn't know they ran twin engines!...but let's not forget, its impressive wheelbase and ground clearance make these guys formidable foes
that's about all it can do because of physics, as a brick on wheels..but it can do it better thanks to huge tires and suspension travel if you look, the tire of the truck is almost as big as the car itself, it can drive faster over rough terrain
the evolution of the legendary Group B monster w/400PS + 1t vs. 10t + 1000-1250PS 2x6cyl quad turbos ... made interesting quartett card games at that time!
Imagine being in the middle of dessert running full down throttle thinking there's no one as brave as you...then look through the window and a 15 tons DAF truck is overtaking you...DDDAAAAAMMNN 💔
These dust tails are a natural phenomenon called a nut storm! They’re formed by the drivers massive steel balls clinging just a few inches above ground!!
HondaMan Vtec look, I'm not getting into a debate, all I'm staying is the DAF road that sand like butter...that's me *not* comparing it to the car, because (like you said) they are two different classes. You can not compare a truck and a car like what you are doing.
Because he helped some people on the route, he just came a few seconds short for taking overall lead or the Dakar rally, so faster than al trucks, cars and motorbikes combined. His goal was to lead the rally overall for at least one stage. He just missed that goal by seconds. At that moment the truck in 2nd place was 14 hours behind him (or 15, can't remember).
The daf is by far my all time favourite Dakar vehicle. Twin 600hp engines each with 3 variable geometry turbos. De rooy is a fucking legend for his perseverance in building something as crazy as this. Hope we see this one day in beamng…
Á alguns anos atrás achei uma FITA VHS com essa corrida completa!!! Estava em uma locadora e à aluguei por 04 vezes seguidas!!! Impressionante esse filme sobre o Dakar 👏👏👏
@@tigervv6437 True, but a huge truck has far worse aerodynamics and the faster you go the worse it's going to get. The weight also is factor since it's going to sink down in the loose sand a lot more and thus obviously have much more mechanical friction. According to DAF's own webpage their 1988 Dakar truck weighed 10500 kilos - that's 10,5 tons! The Peugeot 405 T16 Dakar was merely 900 kilos dry (heavier fully loaded) which isn't even a ton. That means the truck was roughly 10 times as heavy! Even with 1200hp you think that is not going to be enough against a far more nimble and aerodynamically sleek rally car. This is why this footage here is just insane and unbelievable. If it didn't happen before our eyes as proven here nobody would believe it.
R.I.P. Jan de Rooy (19 februari 1943 - 30 January 2024 (80 years old)) 🙏

No more dual engine trucks after that. De Rooy took many years off from Dakar racing after that incident.
Having fun in the dunes is a risky business, seemingly ...
Does the Van de Rijt family own a haulage company that transports aircraft engine's?
Jan De Rooy Driver DAF
Nice info 👍🏼
When the Dakar as true Dakar. No limitations, full throttle and pure adventure.
The eighties and early nineties were the golden days of motorsports.

Jan DeRooy, THE Legend!
Of everything Paris-Dakar, this is the most epic footage.
Damn this was a child hood memory i had of dakar, its what made me tell everyone that the trucks are actually the fastest
I saw it when I was 7 and though:" Why that car goes so slow". _))

When the T-1000 makes a choice to race the Dakar instead of killing John Connor.
oh you really need to have watched T2 to get that !
Sure, a jet ski is light and nimble... But a yacht cuts through the waves better👌
Imagine being in the middle of dessert running full down throttle thinking there's no one as brave as you...then look through the window and a 15 tons DAF truck is overtaking you...DDDAAAAAMMNN 💔
Just imagine seeing some slow grandma infront of your truck during the Dakar!
schlesser moment in taxi taxi :D on the rally stage
there fit bigger balls into that daf🤣
I heared somewhere, I think from Jan de Rooij himself, that Ari was banging the steeringwheel in anger. And I can't blame him!
I would do the same in case I was overtaken by a truck 🤣
Sadly Jan de Rooy passed away today, he was 80 y/o.
Aerodynamic leave the chat...!
0:55 thought it would go up in flames there. But no.. Just a healthy cough
It diesel tho... 😅😅
the little car shoots flames and the truck shoots smoke when they let off gas
0:47 "Okay Vatanen, time to taste dust"
if it wasn't on video you wouldn't believe it , just epic
RIP Jan de Rooy, the legend passed away today.
Jan De Rooy was a rallycross champion in Netherlands and a true race driver. It was a total madness. I remember very well that time. Thank you !
Brings a tear to my eye Everytime
RIP Jan de Rooy. Hope he will now ride like thunder in the skies!
A, the good old days when the Paris - Dakar actually went to Dakar.
When the dakar was actually good
Both legendary motorsport vehicles.

Well the the peugoet did it to. Cos they was riding toghter

If you ever get a chance, visit the Daf museum in Eindhoven, this truck and both turbotwins are there

Imagine not being able to gap a diesel truck.. What amazing machines!
basically it's 2 diesel truck merged together
1220 HP/4600 Nm 250 km/h, DAF :D
In Finland, when someone tries to drive fast and crashes, you say they have the legs of Vatanen and their own hands.
It was filmed just minutes before the crash of the second Daf truck...
Nice archive video! Fun to see the battles again

Right ?
