Presented by: Ben Constanduros The 2020 Dakar Rally drew to a close near the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh after Stage 12 of the iconic event which saw TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s Nasser Al-Attiyah and navigator Mathieu Baumel win the final stage. The pair pushed hard to close the gap to the leaders, which stood at 10min 17sec after the penultimate stage. Despite posting the fastest time on the closing stage, the Toyota Hilux crew fell 6min 21sec short of the winning time, after more than 5,000 kilometres of flat out rally raid racing. The final stage from Haradh to the newly built entertainment city of Qiddiyah was halved to just 167 kilometres. Although the stage distance was not enough for Nasser and Mathieu to catch the leaders, the pair still gained 3min 56sec to cement their second place in the overall standings. Fernando Alonso and Marc Coma shone as the second fastest TOYOTA GAZOO Racing crew on the stage, posting the fourth best time and losing just 3min 25sec to Nasser and Mathieu. The pair were just 25 seconds behind their teammates at the first waypoint but suffered a puncture mid-stage, which saw them drop some time. Fernando and Marc finished in 13th place overall, 4hrs 42min 47sec behind the race winners. After losing more than two hours on the second stage, they pushed themselves and their Toyota Hilux to the limits over the following stages and improved to 10th place overall before a roll on Stage 10 put a Top 10 finish out of reach. 【TOYOTA GAZOO Racing 】 https://ift.tt/23JOlIT
