Eurol in Dakar: Good day at the office for Ten Brinke

After a short first stage, the Dakar Rally really started on Tuesday with a 342 kilometre long stage. Bernhard ten Brinke finished third in the car category. Eurol is supporting the participants of the 2019 Dakar Rally and update you on their achievements.

Ten Brinke was the fastest of the Eurol teams in Dakar. The Toyota Gazoo Racing driver was in the hunt for the stage win but had to concede his fastest time late in the stage. The Dutchman finished in third place within two minutes of Sebastien Loeb, the winner of the days stage.

Giniel de Villiers followed in fourth and is the new overall leader in the car category. The South African leads the Dakar with a advantage of 28 seconds to Ten Brinke. Nasser Al-Attiyah coped well with the difficult task of opening the stage. The Qatari had to find all the right tracks and both he and co-driver Mathieu Baumel worked hard to stay upfront. Al-Attiyah finished just outside the top ten.

Tim & Tom Coronel

The Coronel brothers had another faultless day during the second stage. The Jefferies Dakar Buggy acted well and the guys reached the finish with a very neat 31st place.
