So badass!!!

It needed a quick undercarriage wash.

🔥💪Iveco Power Star 💪🔥

That is pure adrenaline runing throught their veins!

OMG!!!😳😳💪💪💪👍

you got it! Sacrificing their own stage to help others in peril 👏

That should be the spirit of everything.

A very heartwarming way to start the day!

The spirit of Dakar: Not to let the two best teams.

And a Heath bar to you!

I think the officials are actually looking at adding time to the truck crews

Usually get time back for stopping to help out other competitors

Shut up

The time is given back to them. Its a great system in the Dakar.

@@jody024 could you explain this system?

It's why i really like dakar, the essence of dakar is yes, racing and fastest stage But it's indoctrinated into the sport when you see others stuck or in a bad position, you help I really like the sportsmanship in dakar, like the only race series where you get rewarded for helping your competitor

. . . in the snow . . . . . . and we was thankful!

@@RedArrow73 and Barefoot !

@@mingthemerciless5987 and when they encountered body of water, they had to swim using their ears as flippers and tongues as rudders.

Thin mountain air made it especially difficult to breath, let alone move.

@@Teqnyq Don't forget about the sharks he had to fight off with a number 2 pencil.

@stopukrosum4860 Alright then

Dutch*

If you call that help, looked like a circus to me l 😂

@@westrnite They get them out? Yes. So what is circus about it? The only circus I can see is this 0:50, which had nothing to do with trucks.

Fantastic trucks

Hate to break it to you but arabs gonna have this kind of weather from now on. It’s the prophecy.

@@Tokopilbiru What prophecy is that?

It’s not prophecy. That’s primitive bullshit. It’s just normal meteorological changes.

@@Tokopilbiruhuh

....we are back in sand....

They even get some time back if they help other drivers! Not only encouraging sportsmanship, but giving them a reward as well!

Exactly what I thought about. I just got home from work so when I wake up I'm gonna spin some tires around some snow.

we don't have rivera in saudi , it is just water because if the heavy rain

Snowrunner filled the void when I moved to the city. A little disappointing how vehicles tend to bog down though.

You clearly don't even know the categories

@@estelomboI honestly don’t can’t you explain

@@oak8728 I think in the beginning the big trucks weren’t really a race class they were just there to help.

Kids, this is why the #1 rule is don’t drive through flood water.

Could've chopped someone in half. It was like a 3 stooges episode for a minute lol.

@@Gecko88 they'll still knock your head clean off your pretty little shoulders all the same.

@@Gecko88 Get with the "experienced guys who know what they're talking about" minecraft kid. Steel ropes are limited in the damage they'll cause because they have extremely low elasticity. A wet blanket over a steel rope renders it pretty safe. Not so for dynamic synthetics - They store, and can release massive energy, which is why they're used.

@@BericBuildsMy dad use to haul cars and that is about the only thing I ever thought about on calls with him. I swear it’s about the only important rule to towing, Besides making sure the car is secured of course. I should be making money hauling cars but he gave up that business to be just as broke. But in a semi instead😂

@@Gecko88 It's not really the ropes that do the damage or are even the thing to break, it's the brackets they are attached to that fail and get launched like a catapult.

i agree especially in a dakar stage there are times where they are totally alone so it could've gotten worse if they left them behind

Scary how in the minutes this took place You can clearly see the water eating at the "river bank" it gets wide so fast that it's scary to think ab getting stuck like that in the middle

I want one

It is a logistical nightmare, you have to remember these stages are 400km and more some days whereas a typical WRC stage is going to be between 10km and 30km - then you’d have to factor in sending all those images/data back to the TV truck and then beamed via satellite to each TV station that covers the event, the costs escalate quite rapidly! But aye, I too long for more coverage, maybe one day!

Yeah.. its a pain to search for all the coverage/material.... I always feel like I cannot get the full picture and miss a ton of stuff

try SBS On Demand

Starlink fixes this all very soon.

Not to mention, who tf has 5+ hours watching the entire race every day?? The coverage will never be enough for those who love this rally, but it's good enough for the time being.

You never know what to expect at the dakar

. . . to destroy the nature👎👎👎

@@Pomaludolupaknahoru Haha...i think 1000 other thinks will destroy the nature as a Dakar Truck 1Time at the the year..

@@mikebadcossi2583 no coment

@Chin Up or because its always in social media or the news.

good news does not fill the tv and radio waves. Social media will not get enough hits.

Same here dude. Same here.

would have been better just to use a winch would have taken half the time

Why wouldn't any of these guys know how to recover a vehicle lol? It's not terribly difficult. They are pros you're an idiot on KZfaq. Armchair quarterback

recovery in sand is very tricky and you cant just drive up, hook up and pull. You actually use the truck to flatten the sand a little bit and then you get a running yank to get both rolling. Learned the hard way.

@@dr.z3426 Are you a real Dr??

Amateurs!

Why don't you join next time?

I was looking... no winch? Wow!

I was thinking the same. It's not like the truck doesn't weigh 5 tons already. Surely, a little more weight wouldn't make any difference

No KAMAZ this year, we will have a new class winner....

@@doginu probably would be great to be a champion of Dakar 2023 but know that if kamaz team would be participating this year you probably would not be a champion :) Enjoy Dakar Pussies

@@doginu It won't be a real winner

@@doginu it will be a sandbox winner without MAZ and KAMAZ teams. just imagine F1 without Ferrari

You never watched his early stuff when he would knock his tire off the bead have you?

@@User-rka_zykx76 so you haven't then. Before he ran headlocks and rebuilt it. Every outing he'd have to replace a tire, or have one driven out. Know your head from your ass before shit comes out of your mouth

@@killroy2993 what does the old stuff have anything to do with present time 🤡

Humanity? While hosting in Saudi-Arabia? Lmao

@@tuub1281 Hey, what's the problem with Dakar in Saudi-Arabia? This is Dakar, no borders, just motorsport! I think this video is a good example of sportsmen behaviour, isn't it? IMHO

It was absolutely nuts! You should see the bivouac (check out the Red Bull TV recap - link in description)

Thanks, expert.

Saudi Arabia gets a lot of rain for a few weeks this time of year.

the same was on the last 2years , maybe in the same spot +/-

@@RedBullRally La Nina, three years in a row: climate scientist outlines what we can expect. The Bureau of Meteorology has declared another La Nina is underway. This means Australia's east coast will likely endure yet another wet, and relatively cool, spring and summer. It's the third La Nina event in a row. El Niño and La Niña are climate patterns in the Pacific Ocean that can affect weather worldwide.

Muy peligrosa! Gutierrez es mi conductora favorita

That's why you are here behind the keyboard typing comments, and they are out there trying to become actual champions.

The best thing they could have done is stayed with the vehicle.... It was stuck and stable... At least stay put until absolutely no other choice but to risk leaving the safety of your vehicle. Don't move until a crew can get there and help you in the swift waters. If you get swept up with help there they can send help after you. You get swept up while they're not there then you're on your own.

@@medix1203 Don't forget, it's a race, not just an afternoon fooling about. They have the mindset of trying to get out as quickly as possible, sometimes safety and rational thinking takes a back seat then, for better or worse. Not to mention, it's not a given that other competitors will help you, they are not obligated to. And non-competitors aren't allowed to touch your car, unless you forfeit the race and give up entirely.

@@DrTheRich I get that it's a race but when shit like this occurs, then it's no longer a race it's a rescue live saving mission. They were best to just stay right where they were until help arrived.... But I guess being a Firefighter/ medic I have NO CLUE about swift water rescue right?

@@medix1203 Easy for you to claim behind the keyboard. What it should have been, and what it actually was in the situation ar two different things. Also these guys live for the thrill of these rough moments on the edge, of life or death. Not everyone understands that, or would do the same, that's ok, but don't project your believes on others. You probably have a clue about swift water rescues, they have no clue, and you weren't there. Btw there is a firefighter team in the race with a truck, a pity they weren't there at that time. People die during Dakar rallies, because it's an extreme sport, just like cliff jumping, skydiving, or rock climbing. Despite all modern safety rules, equipment, precautions and experience. That danger is part of the appeal for people who join. It's not for everyone, or rather, it's not for most people.

En garde! 🤺

Why? Cause it's stupid?

Are they not?

And why don't they allow trophy trucks in Dakar?

It's a different spec vehicle, you will find that trophy trucks are too powerful and far too weak to go the whole Dakar.

@@neeooww I have a hard time believing a trophy truck would have any more difficulty than these side-by-sides.

Us too!

Easily better than any Marvel shite.

and it's real!

Scripted

Red Bull, duh

@@Bramon83 that was the joke

Yeah must be everywhere in the world

same in new caledonia we are strugeling from flooding since 2021, theres a little creek that I have to cross it went from 1m wide 30 cm high to 7 m high 40 m wide once, I never saw it this large ever.

La Niña is still in control. It's the third La Niña event in a row. This is rare, but not unheard of. How many triple La Niña are there? Only twice since reliable records began in the 1950s has there been a triple La Niña - once in 1973-1975 and again in 1998-2001. El Niño and La Niña are climate patterns in the Pacific Ocean that can affect weather worldwide. along with solar activity and weakened magnetic field A significant reduction of the solar magnetic field during grand solar minima will undoubtedly lead to the increase of intensity of galactic and extra-galactic cosmic rays, which, in turn, lead to a formation of high clouds in the terrestrial atmospheres. much is happening globally too cause we have entered a grand solar cycle what comes around about every 350-400 years and so far we only seen the tip of what to come over the next 25 years may be more. 2020-2053 forecast length this cycle but some say it could last longer

russian racist

Yeah they should totally invite you, the keyboard recovery expert lol

You are right!

Yea, I’m sure the adrenaline was pumping but there easy could have been a fatality at a few different time in this video. That many big trucks, cables, not to mention lots of fast moving water and no rescue around... Not saying I could do better but seemed unprepared or at least unpracticed.

They are very serious about the risk, it’s supposed to be a lot of it 😅

Everyone knows it is very risky

This is Dakar

Its Dakar not kindergarden!!! 😀

Welcome to Dakar! The desert is unpredictable!

Like your mother.

yeah, but this year there are no Russians

the russians race to ukraine

lol you're right

Even the trucks are stuck in that wet sand thats flash flood its thr best they can do.

Think a boat will win this event.

thats not a recovery team, those are other competitors helping each other out.

It is not a recovery team
