Dakar 2006 Complete
Stage 15's special brought the Dakar 2006 rally to a close. Only 93 bikers, 67 cars, and 33 trucks completed this grueling race of skill and endurance. Team Vanguard's Philippe Gache and Jean-Pierre Garcin crossed the Lac Rose finish line at 11:49 am. As expected the team finished the rally in the 12th position. All those who follow this competition join us in congratulating the team.
In just his fifth race, Ronn Bailey driving car #199 jumped out in front of the pack and led the first two and a half laps of the race with a significant gap ahead of the nearest competitor.
