No regular service is allowed after the Rally Dakar’s twelfth stage. At the stage finish in the Guinean town Labé, the Volkswagen works drivers and all other competitors can only call on the help of the Race Trucks. After an accident on the eleventh stage the Race-Truck driven by Klaus Leihener/Thomas Baumann/Thorsten Goldberg was again ready for action on the marathon stage. The robust MAN had only suffered cosmetic damage and arrived at the bivouac in Bamako late on Wednesday evening. The Race-Truck shadowing privateer Stéphane Henrard also transported the tyres for the Volkswagen works team.

Henrard has already helped the Volkswagen works drivers on two occasions: He gave Bruno Saby a few litres of diesel after a leak in the fuel supply line and towed his car away. When the Spaniard Carlos Sainz stopped with an overheating engine immediately after the ninth stage, he towed his Race Touareg along the liaison stage to the team’s overnight halt.
