Second of January 2017 the big test for the two Scania Rally trucks will start.
First two days will be only to 280 meter above sea level but day 3 will be fun going up to 4895 above sea level so man and machine will have a big challenge coming as oxygen will be low and concentration levels will drop and turbochargers will be pushed to the limit.
In total 5 days will be above 3800 meter altitude, but than again Le Dakar must be one of the most challenging Rallies on the globe.
