Wonder if you will rejoin Audi in their 2026 F1 effort (probably knowing some things they we don't know and won't share for obvious reasons of course 😅)
That would make for a great story! Everything coming full circle for him 😄
Nasser Al-Attiyah is punching the air.
Great to see that complex machine hold up through the brutality. Yea Carlos had help but Loeb could have had help as well. could.
Loeb had help actually; when he had his big time loss it was only not even bigger because a smaller team handed them some parts they needed. Otherwise they would have had to wait for the team truck.
@@_SpamMe True but likely the other guy could have kept up better with Loeb, shortening the repair time but likely would have not made much difference given the extent of the damage.
@@ktweiit also doesn’t help that Nasser Al-Attiyah quit instead of continuing to support Loeb
@@theocousins6386 yeah it's pathetic really. He's shown himself to be an entitled quitter. Not once, but twice.
@@theocousins6386 he entered as a privateer BTW, also what could he have done without a functioning car.
Well, I guess I was wrong. The old guard actually did it this time. Ekström and Peterhansel sacrificing their own result in order to help out Audi's leading driver Sainz was a great showing of team effort in contrast to Prodrive's puzzling way of handling things. Just sad to see Al Rajhi and Quintero drop out of contention so early on in the rally, though through the way the two-day marathon stage was scored, Yazeed Al Rajhi now has the distinction of having been the only driver in the history of the Dakar to lead the rally overall despite retiring his car.
Al Attiyah entered as a privateer, financing things through his Nasser Racing team and sponsors, Loeb had no teammate in the factory team.
Solo Sainz tenía opciones. Quedar fuera del podio no es sacrificar nada.
I actually really liked the concept of this car. It will be a petty to see it dissapear. I can only hope for more new technolegies to come in and make the race more interesting from a technical/manufacturer point of view.
I'm sad that Yazeed Al Rajhi didn't make it. Seeing him win in a privateer Overdrive effort would have been a fantastic underdog story.
All manufactures have Problems with Suspension and the Tires. Audi Build a solid and havn‘t Problems with any of there engines. I didn’t expect the realibility with the technique inside the car. The DNF in the Last 3 years were caused Boy crashes. At the end they Played a good Team game and solved the win.
It is so amazing to see daring, highly engineered concepts being up to the task. I hope that many more manufacturers see this as a motivation to go on and try such things, as they can yield in such amazing victories for a brand and its engineers. Another such example, albeit not as successful but at least as cool as the RS Q e-tron, is the 997.2 GT3 R Hybrid.
im gonna miss them and sad theyre leaving. good competition between the toyotas, hunters, and the audis.
If the electric drive train completed the same course on 40% less fuel that looks to me like a firm evidence of the range extender concept as the best form of transportation available today.
Agreed. Pure EVs with their fake "green" badge are a con
So hybrids
@@rexthewolf3149 Yes but a backwards hybrid from the way they're done now.
It's actually the same principle as the power delivery in fright trains.
The biggest trains ever have a 6,000HP V16 Diesel connected to nothing but an electric generator.
for smaller range uses pure evs are more efficient even if the electricity is generated from gas as big generators in powerplants are more efficient than smaller engines
@@RaihanSaputraa
People with a short daily commute? Sure, the average person who drives for an hour or less every day doesn't need gas power to do that, but the other HALF of the country needs a gas power hybrid.
Huge win for the Audi marketing department!
Audi dominated in the early 80s because they entered B group rallying with their Quattro AWD system. The game changing win is still being marketed today.
I bet Audi will be bragging (I mean marketing) their e-Tron win for many decades! 😅😅
Hope to see more Manufacturers like in WEC.
Very informative. 👍.
We can have a prodrive video?. There are some things going on with that team and the car.😬😬😬😬
Now FIA should lower the minimum weight for T1+. Great win for Audi, I just wonder how much money they spend over those 3 years at Dakar. I wouldn't be surprised if it was more than other teams combined.
Yeah, probably that is the case. Same as they did at Le Mans.
Maybe but still very cheap for Audi compared to their other motorsport projects and pretty good marketing return.
So what ...if they spent more money than the other teams ...???so what ...???.......Most probably ..another sour Toyota supporter...!!!
@@kingalfred3902 for your knowledge I support the drivers not the teams
@@BSport320 agree. But at the same time this project would have been a total disgrace for them if not this win in their last year at Dakar. Best team, top 2 car, best drivers, they HAD to win it.
Happy for them obviously. What do you think will happen with Q Motorsport?
So Audi just asked FIA to allow them to have big tires and 4wd?
And FIA said, yes no problem here is T1+ for everyone. Well isn't that nice.
How about for the longest time when there was just Peugeot with 2wd an big tires and Toyota with 4wd and small and FIA didn't want to make the rules "fair".
Toyota had so many punctures for years and was annoyed by it and complained about it all the time. But FIA said it's ok, and rules weren't changed about tire size and drivetrain type.
Can anyone explain that, because it seems someone in rulemaking really liked Peugeot and later Audi?
What I don’t like about Audi’s triumph is that they basically steamrolled the competition with loads of money and even got the rules taylor made according to their wishes. 🤑 It’s a gigantic marketing coup for battery cars - a drivetrain concept that even they realized is like a fish out of water in the Saudi desert. So, with money not being an object, they went out of their way to develop a purpose-built hybrid technology you won’t find in their showrooms. 🙄
On the other hand you gotta acknowledge their good teamwork (which Loeb bitterly missed) and drawing attention to the Dakar as an event. So after all it’s probably a deserved win. 😕
it is a series hybrid, Audi might not have one in their showrooms, but other manufacturers do
@@fuzzy1dkCorrect. So Audi is promoting other manufacturer’s offerings - how cool is that?!
I have an unrelated question. Is the driver or the driving style considered during F1 car design stage or is it only adjusted during testing?
Regarding the fuel economy you compare the 295 liter to the standard 500 liter tank size. Question: does Audi have a fully charged battery for every daily start? If yes, you have to add this energy portion in the comparative calculation.
I doubt it. For the range extender to have the best effect the battery should be as small as possible without sacrificing performance. In the new hybrid sports cars it's around 10 15km. Considering the weight of the Audi the EV range is likely to be even less.
They have a 50kWh battery pack. Gasoline has 8,5kWh per litre. So the energy in the battery pack equals 6 litres of fuel. If you take the efficiency of the range extender into account, a full battery at the start is worth about 15 additional litres of fuel. The Audi’s drive train is much more efficient than its rivals.
@@dhanu_4539why would the range extender be more efficient with a smaller battery? The battery size is 50kWh according to B Sports video. That’s not small
@@AR_434 according to your calculations it isn't big either right. Check the percentages how much power the fuel tank holds vs the battery. It's only equivalent to 6l according to you. 6/ 301x 100= 2%
@@AR_434 I think that you aren't accounting for the weight of the vehicle. In proportion it's a small battery. The idea is quite simple fuel has great energy density for it's weight, While batteries dont. Electric drivetrains are far more efficient than an IC drivetrain. So carry as much energy in the form of fuel and gain the maximum benefit from both.
Wonder if a privateer would be brave enough to run the Audi for next year (although it might be hard for it being an electric car). Or maybe X-Raid would run it under their banner instead alonside the Mini?
Audi should do wec hypercar, a return to the wec would be great! Plus they have had more success there then f1 honestly disappointed that they aren't doing hypercar because there is a massive amount of hype around the hypercar class.
Booo its a BOP class, honestly dont understand the amount of hype for a BOP series. atleast F1 is just a tour de force of whos best wins. Thats where Audi can prove their mettle.
SAINZ!!! ✌️ 4 Dakars with 4 different cars. 3 Audis in this Dakar...ONLY SAINZ SUCESS
Congrats to the Audi for driving itself and winning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting how Q motorsport (comprised of BMW’s controlling family) is helping Audi (VAG group)
I have the feeling, when they won all their Le Mans. The rules were taylor-made for them.
You are most probably a sour Toyota supporter ...????...am i right ...??
@@kingalfred3902 No, I am not a Toyota fan, at all..and you don't need to leave your cr*p comment there to everyone, who is not a biased Audi fanboy. After a certain age people accept that someone has got a different opinion, and probably more knowledge of a topic.
@@bcsa that is shitty cope, Toyota fanboy.
haha get fckd. 2nd most wins on LeMans. Cope more
At one point Audi was winning so many times in Le Mans with their Diesel engine, I bet they were planning to sell diesel cars for many decades.
Unfortunately, the diesel gate happened. And they reacted so badly. It all ended in a huge loss.
Is it a production car tho?
Great to see teamwork succeed! Sad for Leob
link to the etron details? u have ~400 vids
You can just go through the DAKAR playlist, or this here is the first Audi RSQ video:
czcams.com/video/Vh-oKSs2k9Y/video.html
To win in moto-sport you just three things:
1. money
2. money
3. money
One word: good.
That big air intake
Great
They must’ve paid an insane amount of money (or some huge technology transfer) to the Quandts.
The family that owns bmw (and much more) doesn’t give away this great marketing tool easily.
I’m really curious, but we will never know.
I would say more that "SAINZ made Audi win the dakar finally"🗿
Come on, just check the problems Peterhansel and Ekström had...
Peterhansel have NOT problems with his Audi. He has problems with his own memory because he has forgoten how to use the cricket to change a tire!!
@@HonestSaxSound-unEdited- There you go, another prove that Sainz is better.
oh ...no...!!!!.......!and yet another sour Toyota Supporter!!!!!.....when will this stop...!!!!!!
Would never have guessed this outcome. Respect Audi.
I wonder, why we don't have these cars on the market.
More power with much less fuel usage with the same range as an ICE.
Would sell like sugar.
Hybrids are on the market.
Audi should appear in a separate hybrid category.
No, it is not hybrid.. it is ELECTRIC.. his whole motorization is electric.
His little explosion motor is only to recharge faster the electric flow..
RUBBISH...!!!!!!!
@@HonestSaxSound-unEdited-it’s still a hybrid, there’s different types of hybrids
Four rings
CONGRATS AUDI!!!❤
The best again!!😊
HISTORICAL!!!
AUDI Electric champion of the longest, most complicated and toughest competition in the world, beating dozens and more dozens of super-competitive explosion cars!!
Once again it was the Germans with their cutting-edge technology that achieved such a historic milestone... it was not Tesla, much less the Chinese, it was AUDI that demonstrated its superiority, and that the future is already here!!!❤
Thank you SAINZ/CRUZ/AUDI.. total geniuses!!!❤❤❤😊
Too bad their retail ev’s suck. Tesla and the Chinese are putting their money where it’s actually important the cars on the road.
@@rexthewolf3149
They don't suck, they are excellent and I'm sure they are better and more reliable than the Chinese ones.
@@HonestSaxSound-unEdited- then why aren’t they selling as many as Tesla and the Chinese.
I live near DC, and I’ve seen more Porsche, Tesla, GM, Hyundai And Ford EVs than I see Audis. Clearly they’re doing something wrong.
@@rexthewolf3149 the problem is, audi had internal problems with an software developer by doing some software stuff 4 the future electric cars. This year a many New launches of electric cars with nice technik
not fully electric...still depend on gasoline
I truly wish audi would focus on making good road cars which challenged bmw and mercedes. Too much focus on motorsports
Or no focus at all.
@@wendigockel yes like what's happening now.
Audi....are making fantastic road cars .....what universe are you living ...!!!!!!....How many Audi,s have you owned ...????.......i thought so ...????....zippit ..!!
@@kingalfred3902 presently other than R8,rs7(V8),rs6 avant and rs3. Most of their cars are underwhelming in comparison, their tech is old, engines are old. No major updates in their sports lines and their cars which should embody luxury fall flat. I have driven present gen audis, they are quite underwhelming. Only rs3 is good.
And just like that they're gone? Man it's gonna be funny if Audi dropped all other motorsports just for their F1 program to flop. Hey at least Ford is doubling down on their Dakar programme
That away to have spoiler - Click Bait!
Happy to be wrong
a rule chance requested by audi. so they did not win it, they just bought it
Basically.
🤣🤣🤣
Again, remember groupB
First of rule change was from w2rc and is only from stage 5 onwards and ironically Al Attiyah won stage 5 but Al Attiyah was happy last year when Audi was running 100kg heavier? So yeah it was a fair decision. Toyota has no argument here they are only happy when they have an advantage but as soon as the advantage disappears they are all angry lmao
tfsi engine win dakar :D lol
They won based on flat tires « war », without even winning a single special 😂 it’s a victory but nothing to be so glorious either 🤫
Glorious, Iconic and historic in all dimensions!!
AUDI was the winner of the longest and hardest competition in the world with only 3 cars, against hundred of explosion cars!!!
Audi demostrates the superiority of German electric high tech and brings the future for our present😊
When is this going to stop...??????.....Yet a another sour........Toyota supporter ...!!!!!
Like Tour de France it is time based, so it about consistency, not win one stage, then lost a lot of time in another. It just that in kinda rare for this to happen in rally
keep riding the bus. you cant afford a car 😂
Diesel engine is better
Can't talk about this year's race without a history lesson. Boring!
FAKE DAKAR!!!!! LOEB GOOOOOOOO!!!! SAINZ IS GAY!!!!
the worst sounding race car in history...
Two engines really? You like to win easy.
