Loeb in the BRX wins stage 12 and moves into second overall but has little chance of catching Al-Attiyah whom he trails by 87 minutes with just two easy-ish stages left to go and it's unlikely the Arab would breakdown or crash now.

Six in a row stage wins for second placed Loeb! A record that and with the final day tomorrow leader Al-Attiyah is driving 'steady eddie' and ready to grab his fifth Dakar victory tomorrow.

It's all over, no. 200 Toyota bags the win with a careful cruise to the flag with Loeb's BRX taking it easy also not to blow his second place after his lost time with punctures and a roll at the start of the rally.
Loeb is still bidding for his first Dakar win while iron man Peterhansel holds the record for seven car wins mostly in a Pajero on the Dakar and six on titles on bikes.
Hybrids and EV's have failed miserably to get anywhere in this rally with V8's and now V6's of Toyota's and Ford again ruling the roost.

Just starting to watch, but I think it’s some of the best video I’ve seen.
