Retro Rally Raid: The Story Of The First Dakar Classic
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- For four decades and counting, the Dakar Rally has been host to the widest variety of vehicles in any form of motorsport in the world. From VW Bugs to Porsche 959s, the BMW GS to the KTM 450 Rally, Mercedes Gs to jacked-up Peugeot 405s, and every type of buggy, truck, and tube-framed prototype in between, the infamously difficult rally raid has been the target of many a manufacturer and competitor.
The modern version is still chock full of brave and talented nuts racing on bikes, trucks, cars, and buggies, but this year added even more variety, and marked a significant step in the rally’s history with the inclusion of the first-ever Classic category. The inaugural edition saw 24 teams take on the terrain of Saudi Arabia over a nearly two-week period of competition that ran in a parallel route to the main event that began and ended in Jeddah. Range Rovers, Unimogs, Land Cruisers, Mitsu Monteros, and more took on the desert in a live action display of Dakar history.
Petrolicious caught up with Ignacio “Livingstone” Corcuera and Juan Roura to get some insight into what it was like to compete in the Dakar Classic, and to understand what made this event important to them on an individual level. Livingstone was instrumental in creating the event, which was spurred by his desire to race the route in one of the earliest Dakar class winners, the Volkswagen Iltis, while Roura had grown up watching the Dakar from its inception in the late 1970s, and found that the Classic offered a more affordable and more sentimental point of entry to a race he’s always wanted to attempt.
“All my life, I’ve followed the Dakar closely on TV, at home … The Dakar Classic has opened up an opportunity because it’s more affordable. It has turned into the one option to experience the Dakar and race this rally that I’ve been so excited about. So, at 47 I’ve finally done it.”

I love the fact that the video lasts 9:59
I came here just to comment that, but I see you already did it. I accept my defeat, congratulations. 😁
Exactly ,,also the title photo showing the Porsche in question .All click bait , because the major disappoinment of no feature whatsoever of the car.Literally a couple of seconds of the same shot in the title.
They've shortened the video to 9:58???!!! I came here again because someone commented that (although I can't find that comment).
Excellent idea! Kind of “Gentleman Driver” for Dakkar Classic. For rally inexperienced people but with passion for original cars and road racing this should be a wonderful experience. Congrats!
Petrolicious! We need your videos! We miss you! Your channel was the best!
YES! When will you guys come back!!!???
Where are u guys?
7 months without videos on this channel is a crime.
.....what happening PETROLICIOUS? No more video? it's stopped again? :(
I remember watching the Paris-Dakar in the 90s on Eurosport as a kid. The Pajero/Montero left an impression on me. Many years later (2013) I bought my 1996 Montero SR which lead to a few more. I still daily drive my 2005 Montero Limited :) Great video!
Yes. This is it. Branching out the channel while keeping it about classic vehicles and the story of their owners. In 10 minutes you've managed to make me want to see a spotlight episode about each and every team of the Dakar Classic.
This is phenomenal and sort of back to the old school petrolicious. Regardless, this idea is great. I started watching in this era. Fantastic.
Easily one of the Greatest races of all time
Simply amazing too have a classic class. Seeing the historical cars back in the sand is truly special.
Beautiful, I can't wait to see what vehicles enter next year. Seeing these older vehicles out in the desert again is the coolest!
They say that this year, the restoration project on the double-cabbed Dakar truck of the 80s known as the DAF 3300 4x4 "Tweekoppige Monster" has finally finished, and that they are planning to participate in the 2022 Dakar Classic with it.
Finally Classic....Finally a video at the highness of PETROLICIOUS's brand! Hope to see thousand and thousand of other great video!
Beautiful. Love seeing the variety of vehicles competing in this class ❤️
From France with passion and respect ✌🏼⚜️🇨🇵😎
No doubt that many of those classics are hiding in a warehouse somewhere. No better excuse to "dust them off". 😁😁👍🏻
Dakar is such an insane race! As someone who always wanted to know more about it, this video was awesome! Thank you from Japan!
Where you at!
Brave souls to continue doing this in North Africa, more power to them! I would be amazed to see a 959 show up next time.
It was in Saudi Arabia this year
Una magnífica iniciativa que hace, por fin, interesante al Dakar. Pues la categoría de prototipos es un puro aburrimiento y no son coches “reales”.
Magnifico vídeo!!!
This gets my adventure glands salivating... I'd love to do this, even just as a navigator/passenger...
Petrolicious has since been sold twice. Long gone is the origin company. Probably never will be back.
I used to really like the Petrolicious channel, when it had the truth-speaking founder, who dared make the Orwellian mistake of calling a spade a spade.
Happy to see a new vid instead of rehashed old content, keep it coming.
Awesome! Although it's not quite clear who made this classic category possible d:
I can't believe it's over 😥
Amazing.. this is the best class of Dakar in my opinion! Love IT!
I think this class is going to get bigger and bigger each year.
It's what Dakar is all about, keep it save and enjoy the sand👍🥰
I take it this channel is over?
Yeah it's over
This looks so fun
this kind of content I've been waiting for 😍
No lo he terminado de ver y ya le di le gusta 👍🏽
Amazing!!!!!I have no words!!!
Wanna know why OLD is GOLD?
Because back then there were so many different shapes and sizes, unlike today in all racing formats, it's copy and paste, everything is the same and looks the same making it incredible boring, only die-hard fans actually will stick around to follow it.
This is instantly better, IMO of course. But that is because I love the differences in cars/vehicles used.
80s were the best decade for cars and races, i thought 60s and 70s were the best but the real feeling of racing were born in the 80s
Yea no..... Can Am was in the 60s and 70s..... The craziest motorsport series ever.....and the 917 was the crown jewel of both can Am and sports endurance......
I wonder if they plan on expanding the field to include bikes.
I think you would see massive numbers of entrants if they did.
They did a similar thing in the Australasian Safari with bikes being no newer than a certain year of manufacture.
It would be unreal to see a bunch of pre 2000 Dakar bikes running that same route as in the video.
Watched an old video today.... realized I hadn't seen a post in forever, where are you guys?
Amazing experience, I'd love to do it!
This is great. I have always thought they needed a retro class since i was a kid and used to watch them on tv. The modern stuff is boring and unrelatable to me for some reason. Beautiful coverage as always!
Someone plz explain, what happen to this channel?
Mofo got canceled 🗣
Dead Channel ?
That is just awesome!
The video length is 9.59
IMAGINE having to try to convince The Dakar Rally to allow a version where old cars/classics from the past could take on the brutal journey that is The Dakar Rally once again.... utter madness
just goes to show how mostly everything is ran by people who shouldn't be there.
Missing this content
Any new content coming? Love the car reviews and the owners appreciation/point of view.
Why this chanel no more video?
Does petrolicious still make videos?
I really hope so...
What happened to the channel?
Original creater made some extremist comments (killing people based on political beliefs), got booted from creative control, and the company has been on a downward damage control ever since.
We need new content please 😅
No 👎
Any more content coming our way or have you given up?
Are you guys alive? It's been almost a year now since your last upload. Miss your videos.
Come back we need u
Do you guys know how difficult It is to keep this Channel updated? People hace to leave others film them with their cars and the profesional editing that goes with It simply RUclips ads cannot pay for the effort that went intonold petrolicious videos... I speak from experiencia as I tried to Make my own car videos un a ver y similar way. If we all paid to get these videos monthly. The quality would remain amazing for years to come
NEED ANOTHER VIDEO!
Why need annoying beat, interesting as it is.
2022 also perform dakar classic !!!
I’d like to see Ken Block participate in an old jacked-up Group B Quattro S1 and make donug all along the way.
No hay dakar de motos clásicos
Buena vídeo tío!
No bikes?
COMEBACK PLEASE 😭
Sponsors: Current Dakar Rally
Photographers: Hi, which way to the Classic Dakar Rally, please?
Where did you go, I miss being inspired by these videos. Is a bigger project on the way?!
Free Penny! Feed many! 🏝🛸🐢♥️ ,,,,,,,,,,
What is the name of this car 0:06
3:24
Why no videos?
No new videos once their members only archives ran out.
What happened to Petrolicious?
2:42 what? "braking the rules earns you points"
in order to win, you need the fewest points
@@zdo3819 I like that.
@@Estuardino71 It's like golf. The lowest score makes you the winner.
Petrolicious was the KING until they added paywall.... what a travesty...
Whats happened to the channel? No content for such a long time.
Answer your emails!
I can’t believe how they ruined this channel. I hope the admins go back to its origins
Well, very sad to see once again that the sport aspect is hidden behind a kind of shi*** romantic and glamorous mood. We raced the Dakar Classic 2021, we won it, we lead since the first day to the last one, and not a single image of our Sunhill buggy in your video! 😢😢😢 very very sad to see that the sport, results, classification has no importance. This way to cover the Classic race is certainly not the good aspect despite I liked a lot this great team!
You can be embittered, but this "intro" is not a 2021 Dakar Classic report.
But agree, it would be nice to watch your winning buggy, as well as some other vehicles (like trucks and other)
I used to really like the Petrolicious channel, when it had the truth-speaking founder, who dared make the Orwellian mistake of calling a spade a spade.
Is this channel dead?
Yes, the original owner who sold the business and stayed on as content creator said some choice words that BLM is a terrorist organization on a FB page and well things happened quickly and he completely sold out and now the owners are trying to resurrect a dead duck.
@@hansbrammer9997 Well, he shouldn't have called them that. Hope the new owners bring back the brilliance, without the racism.
@@hansbrammer9997 Oh I see. Some purple hair dykes ruined this man’s life for a fb post. That seems fair
Старикашки)
What happend? last vid was 1 year ago 😭
The synthesized BGM reminds good old tastes of ‘80s-‘90s.
Agreed...Miami Vice vibe.
What's up with Petrolicious? Was this their last video four months ago?
Really bummed by what this channel has become. I miss the regular, high quality vids
Had to double check whether I was still subscribed or not! A video came up in my recommended feed and I realized I hadn’t seen a video in my sub box for a long while
Definitely looking on adding to my collection.
Hello anybody out there?
Agreed I love this channel, unfortunately I think if you look at the views the videos get sadly it's not enough. The production quality of these videos is insane and the views definitely don't reflect the quality of the content. It's sad because I love this channel 😭
@@hydrodynamica9233 Think the guy running Plicious stepped down due to some comments he made about blm
is this channel dead
What happened to this channel? It used to pump out great content covering owner driven cars. With so many subscribers be nice to get an update of some sort
The founder was critical of BLM in 2020 and sold Petrolicious after being harassed over it. I imagine once they ran through whatever was already planned / in production the new owners haven't really done anything with it.
@@jetplume the main website still pumps out article's but they're dogshit now........ Even a RWB article slipped in.... So much for #drivetastefully
@@jetplume do you have some source on that?
@@brinkipinki Just type "Petrolicious BLM"
@@Digitalstar3 damn. Well, "critical" is quite the understatement, lol
Ten years ago I was doing a long distance ferry flight for the company I worked for, moving a helicopter from west Africa over to central Asia. We once stopped for the night in a small town along the coast of the Western Sahara. Leaving the airport, we walked out into the coolest sight ever. A bunch of teams were there testing their vehicles for the upcoming rally. The whole town had been taken over haha. Dakar rally vehicles of every class and description all over the streets. The next morning when we departed we also saw tons more ripping around the sand dunes outside of town. It was awesome.
Why no new videos?
Excellent idea! Kind of “Gentleman Driver” for Dakkar. Loved the “Dakkar Classic” concept. Never done one, but enjoy original cars and road racing. Congrats!
What a shame to witness the death of a great channel
Nice to see the old cars doing the Dakar rally, I'm surprised to see the baja Bug
sad to see the channel died truly a classic
How can u make this vid and not explain the rules
Apparently the channel founder got in some political crosshairs two years ago and the channels has been sold once or twice since. I highly doubt it will come back, and if it does it won’t be the same. RIP.
so sad how whomever took over this channel just a while ago has managed to run it into the ground. a tragedy. miss the old Petrolicious. this is a mere shadow of its once self unfortunately 🤦🏻♂️
Where is a new videos ???
Ok you guys, a year to let things cool off, that's good. Now charge up the battery, gas it up & turn the key!!
Superb
Livingstone, eres un grande 👏👏👏👏
I really like your style of videography, showcasing the people behind the cars as well as the cars themselves. Making it more personally relatable .
HAY QUE REVIVIR EL DAKAR. ORGANIZAR LA CARRERA COMO ERA EN SU ORIGEN. YA QUE LO QUE SE CORRE HOY EN DIAS ES UN ADEFESIO ORGANIZADO POR EMPRESARIOS QUE EN NADA LES IMPORTA EL DEPORTE, SINO EXHIBIR SUS MARCAS. ES UN ASCO QUE A ESO SE LE LLAME DAKAR.
Wonderful slice of history
Nice video, very good content for education of future generations, most of people nowadays has limited knowledge about history of motorsports and development of automotive sector in general. Dakar has made good decision to include classic category, it brings back emotions and more diverse vibe!
Gah, it'd be a dream to sling sand and dirt in a classic Dakar racer. Not supposed to be envious in life, but I'm an honest man and I'm pretty green with it right now!
