Nasser Al-Attiyah gana la Baja Aragón en anuncio de su despedida de Toyota

El qatarí Nasser Al-Attiyah salió a buscar la victoria con todo en la etapa de sábado de la Baja Aragón, luego de comentar en el bivouac que sería su última Baja junto a Toyota. El campeón del Dakar comienza a cerrar su paso por la marca japonesa con su sexta victoria en el evento más importante del rally raid español. El futuro de Nasser todavía no se anuncia pero Prodrive corre como favorito para ficharlo.

Lucas Moraes y Carlos Sainz completaron el podio en el acumulado, aunque Sainz fuera de clasificación por pertenecer a la clase T1U.

Moraes había comenzado el rally como líder tras llevarse la etapa del viernes y consiguió pelear con Al-Attiyah en los últimos kilómetros del sábado, pero quedó a 1 minuto y 43 segundos. Después de perder casi 8 minutos en el viernes, el sábado fue un mucho mejor día para Sainz en el mejor de los Audi y quedó a solo 9 minutos y 17 segundos en el clasificador final. Los otros dos Audi de Peterhansel y Ekstrom tuvieron problemas y no fueron clasificados.

El Top 5 lo completaron Vaidotas Zala y Joao Ferreira con el nuevo MINI JCW Rally Plus. Nani Roma fue séptimo en el debut europeo de la Ford Ranger T1+.

En las motos, el vencedor fue Tosha Schareina validando su gran temporada que lo tuvo peleando por los primeros puestos en el Sonora Rally. Guillaume de Mevius ganó la clase T3.

Sainz & Cruz Victorious at 2020 Dakar Rally

Carlos Sainz (ESP) and his co-driver Lucas Cruz (ESP) have won the Rally Dakar for the third time, having previously triumphed in 2010 and 2018. In doing so, they presented MINI with its fifth overall victory at the iconic endurance rally. 

For MINI and MINI Motorsport partner X-raid, this was the first success since their winning run together, which lasted from 2012 to 2015. The Spanish pair, in the MINI John Cooper Works Buggy, finished 6:21 minutes ahead of last year’s winner Nasser Al-Attiyah (QAT) after roughly 7,500 kilometers through Saudi Arabia, which was hosting the Dakar for the first time.

Dakar record winner Stéphane Peterhansel (FRA) and his co-driver Paulo Fiuza (POR) finished third, 9:58 minutes behind Sainz and Cruz, to round off an impressive performance from the two MINI JCW Buggies. The two MINI JCW Buggy crews each won four stages, while MINI vehicles went fastest on a total of nine of the twelve days. Vaidotas Zala (LTU) / Saulius Jurgelenas (LTU), in a MINI JCW Rally, won the very first Dakar stage on Arabian soil on the opening day.

Seven of the nine MINI crews that started the rally reached the finish in Al-Quiddia (KSA), four of them in the top ten. Orlando Terranova (ARG) and Bernardo ‘Ronnie’ Graue (ARG) finished in the top three on three days on their way to sixth place overall in the four-wheel drive MINI JCW Rally. Local favourite Yasir Seaidan (KSA) and his co-driver Alexey Kuzmich (RUS) were ninth and finished an excellent second on the closing stage. Jakub ‘Kuba’ Przygonski (POL) and co-driver Timo Gottschalk (GER) had their hopes of a top result dashed on the opening day when a technical issue resulted in them losing six hours. They eventually finished in 19th place, 8:35.18 seconds off the lead.

MINI vehicles topped the overall standings after every one of the twelve legs at the 40th staging of the Dakar Rally. Zala and Jurgelenas got the ball rolling with victory on the opening stage, after which Terranova and Graue took the overall lead on day two. Sainz and Cruz claimed their first stage win on the third leg. That victory took them to the top of the overall standings – a position they held right through to the finish.

Nasser Al-Attiyah lidera la Saudi Baja Hail del Mundial de Bajas FIA después del primer día 

El qatarí Nasser Al-Attiyah se quedó con una cómoda victoria en el primer día de actividad de la Saudi Baja Hail en Arabia Saudita, primera fecha del Mundial de Bajas FIA. Nasser anotó un tiempo de 2 horas y 24 minutos para el recorrido de 230 kilómetros y se escapa por 12 minutos y 5 segundos en la clasificación general por delante de Krzystof Holowczyc. 

Al-Attiyah ocupará esta fecha para seguir puliendo sus aptitudes en el desierto saudí que quedaron demostradas con la contundente victoria en el Dakar 2023. La Baja Hail de este año no contará con el campeón Yazeed Al-Rajhi por lesión luego de un accidente realizando deporte fuera de carrera. El principal rival es entonces Holowczyc que cuenta con el nuevo MINI JCW Rally Plus de X-Raid.

"Estuvo bien. No empujamos tanto. Solo queríamos tener un día sin ningún problema. La pasamos bien. Decidimos la semana pasada hacer este rally y haremos Qatar y, si tenemos tiempo, haremos la Baja España y me gustaría hacer la Baja Jordania por primera vez y luego Dubai” declaró Nasser, que sumará a su calendario del Mundial de Rally Raid FIA W2RC varias fechas del Mundial de Bajas. 

En tercera posición se ubica Yasir Seaidan, líder de los Prototipos Ligeros T3 seguido de Saleh Alsaif y Fernando Álvarez.

As ‘Official Vehicle Partner’, BMW Group has been closely linked with the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship since the very first race around seven years ago. Since the Rome E-Prix (ITA) at the weekend, a new FIA Formula E safety car leads the field: the MINI Electric Pacesetter inspired by JCW. The fully electric car was designed by BMW Motorsport such that racing technology makes it perfectly suited to the special requirements of a FIA Formula E safety car. FIA President Jean Todt and the official FIA Formula E safety car driver Bruno Correia (POR) were among those won over at a race weekend with plenty of safety car action.

The positive verdict of former racing driver Correia is a great description of the unique character of the MINI Electric Pacesetter inspired by JCW. In this instance, BMW Motorsport did not convert an existing road vehicle into the FIA Formula E Safety Car. Instead, the engineers used the new MINI Cooper SE (combined fuel consumption: 0.0 l/100 km; combined energy consumption: 17.6 – 15.2 kWh/100 km according to WLTP, 16.1 – 14.9 kWh/100 km according to NEFZ, combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km) as a basis to design a totally new safety car.

“We approached the project both in terms of safety and handling as if we were building a racing car, and started with the body in white of the MINI Cooper SE,” described Rudolf Dittrich, head of vehicle development at BMW Motorsport. “The result is a car that sets standards in braking power, cornering performance and agility. And it is precisely these areas that are crucial on the narrow street circuits in Formula E.”

In addition to the body in white, the powertrain is another component taken from the production vehicle. Only details were modified to meet the specific requirements of a safety car, and it yields 135 kW of power and 280 Nm of torque. This sees the MINI Electric Pacesetter inspired by JCW sprint from 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds (production: 7.3 sec.), from 0-60 km/h in 3.6 sec. (production: 3.9 sec.) and from 80-120 km/h in 4.3 sec. (production: 4.6 sec.).

The brakes are largely identical in construction to those of the MINI John Cooper Works GP (combined fuel consumption: 7.3 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 167 g/km). For the chassis, the basic concept was adopted from production; however, numerous components (for example, the spring damper system) were replaced with motorsport elements. A totally new feature is the Kevlar underride guard familiar from rallying, and which primarily protects the battery of the MINI Electric Pacesetter inspired by JCW when driving roughly over kerbs. The size, profile and rubber compound of the tyres have also been modified for use as a safety car.

Through the consistent use of carbon and CFRP in the construction of the specific bodywork modifications, some of which were even produced using 3D printing, the BMW Motorsport engineers were able to achieve a weight reduction of around 130 kg compared with the production model, and thus an unladen weight of around 1,230 kg. The safety car contains all the modules required by the FIA for passive safety. In the interior, the driver has all the required systems such as radio, GPS, transponder and the control panels for the lighting system.
