HIGHLIGHTS

� Auriol's challenge: the 1981 champion still had his arm in a cast on 13 December, after an accident during recon expeditions with the BMW team. Nevertheless, he will be on his mark on 1 January 1983.

� And for 600 francs more: there was an individual insurance problem when he entered Algeria. It would be settled by the payment of an additional fee of 600 F by all the competitors.

� Balavoine as headliner: singer Daniel Balavoine heads out for his first Dakar odyssey. He takes his place behind the wheel of a Datsun just like Bernard Darniche and Sophie Telliez, a finalist in the 100 meter spring during the Mexico City Olympic Games and an eight-time French champion.

� The Marreaus in Renault: after the Renault 4 and the Renault 20, the Marreau brothers are once again loyal to the French maker. This year they will set out with an R18 4x4.

� No rest for the prisoners of the desert: no day of rest was scheduled for this edition. Nevertheless, a violent sandstorm caused the cancellation of several specials. In all, there will be three days of forced rest.

THE RACE

� Prologue at Gremuses and at Les Guarrigues

It is now a habit, the Dakar pauses for two stops in France before departing for Algiers where the serious competition gets under way. A poor start for Martine de Cortanze, whose Lada suffers an electrical breakdown. Excluding time setbacks, she is sacked with more than 15 penalty hours. As the race heads toward Africa, Lartigue and Bacou hold the lead in their respective classes.

� 1st and 2nd stages: Algiers � Touggourt � Ouargla

During the rally's first African special between Touggourt and Guerrara, Belgian driver Gaston Rahier of BMW pulls off the scratch. Rahier is successful ahead of Bacou's Yamaha and Vassard's Honda. In the car class, Jacky Ickx celebrates, but Lartigue maintains the overall lead.

� 3rd stage: Ouargla � Chebaba (442 km, including 239 km of special)

During the special between Ouargla and El Golea, Vassard gets the best of Rahier. The cars are all Mercedes as Ickx edges out his teammate Jaussaud.

� 4th stage: Chebaba � Bordj Omar Driss (459 km, including 429 km of special)

During the Chebaba-Hassibel Ghebbour special, Jacky Ickx is once again unbeatable and blazes ahead even faster than the motorcycles. In fact, for the first time since the start of the race, three cars finish before the first motorcycle. The problems of the Marreau brothers are piling up. After the 2.5 hour penalty imposed during the Ouargla-El Golea special, they run out of gas, which buries them a little deeper. Also noteworthy: the withdrawal of Gaston Rahier because of a crankcase problem. Honda is

faring well and propels two drivers to the podium for this special. A dual victory for Vassard, who wins ahead of Auriol and Rigoni. He moves into the overall lead. A cursed day for women with the withdrawals of Martine de Cortanze and Corinne Koppenhague.

� 5th and 6th stages: Bordj Omar Driss � Illizi � Djanet

Between Bordj-Omar-Driss and Illizi, then between Illizi and Djanet, Hubert Auriol wins two stages back-to-back and closes in on Vassard in the overall rankings. Jacky Ickx and Ren� Metge continue to set a breakneck pace.

� 7th stage: Djanet � Chirfa (532 km of special)

Upon arriving in Chirfa, it's the status quo on the leader board. Another victory for Auriol who finishes 15 minutes before Neveu. A third success for the Frenchman and a fourth for the German maker. And yet it is a difficult stage. Lost competitors, cancelled inspection, domino-effect falls...the discovery of the T�n�r� was certainly eventful. And it has only just begun...

� 8th and 9th stages: Chirfa � Dirkou � Agadez

Two special are on the menu with a wave of panic and a sand storm blowing across the T�n�r� and the Dakar rally. Marc Joineau on his Suzuki outfoxes the storm and wins the scratch after having spent more than eight hours in the saddle. Behind him, though Auriol, who finished sixth 20 minutes later, limits the damage, Merel and Rigoni withdraw. Philippe Vassard and Gilles Desheulles are far, very far. Same shake-up in the car class. The crowd expected Trossat, who was charging ahead halfway

through, but the stage is eventually won by Metge, who finishes before Ickx. The Lada ridden by Trossat-Briavoine, who had hopes of taking the overall lead, suffered from an oil leak and three flat tires in the second part of the special. At the end of the day, there are still many vehicles that are not answering roll call.

� 10th stage: Agadez � In Gall (115 km of special)

Because the time could not be measured for the first motorcycles because of the lack of an official at the finish line, the stage was cancelled for 54 motorcycles. The automobile ranking is a classic in the category, with Trossat finishing ahead of Ickx and Metge.

Concern mounts as to the status of the competitors scattered in the T�n�r� from whom no signs of life have been received. This is how Desheulles and Vassards came to walk for four days before being recovered by Thierry Sabine.

� 11th stage: Nara � Timbreda (162 km of special)

The race continues. 64 of the 213 cars and 29 of the 132 motorcycles at the start are still in the race. On his bike, Bacou finishes ahead of Joineau and Dobrecq. As for the Marreau brothers, they are dominating the car specials, ahead of Metge and Trossat, who are tied. Auriol and Ickx share a common destiny: both of them finish the special in seventh and own the lead in the overall standings.

� 12th and 13th stages: Timbreda � Kiffa � Kaedi

Trossat once again rides his Lada to victory. In the motorcycle class, Drobecq has not stopped chippinng a way at Auriol's time, which has brought him to within 20 minutes of the BMW driver.

� 14th stage: Kaedi � Tiougoune (470 km, including 370 km of special)

This special is the last one that affords an opportunity to overturn the establish hierarchy. But the suspense is short-lived. For the motorcycles, the duel finally looks to be to Auriol's advantage, who finishes third after Verhaeghe and Bacou. In the car category, Ickx, who is also third after Trossat and Metge, is now protected from any bad surprises.

� 15th stage: Tiougoune � Dakar (130 km of special)

Final sprint between Tiougoune and Yoll, with a double finish for BMW: Fenouil finishes ahead of Loizeaux. Auriol, 9th in the special, wins his second Dakar affter 1981. As for the cars, the scratch was won by the Marreau brothers, but the rally is won by the Ickx-Brasseur team. In the truck class, Groine posts his second consecutive success.
