RALLY DAKAR 2022
Stéphane Peterhansel opted for the sale before suffering the inheritance in the days prior to the beginning of the 44th edition of the Dakar Rally. The Frenchman assured that Audi was not ready to fight for the race. Y lo cierto es que 'Mr. Dakar' did not lie. The Audi RS Q e-tron has the pace to be competitive, even if the 4x4 hybrid with extended autonomy from the Ingolstadt brand is overweight by 200 kilograms compared to its rivals. However, in the first week it became clear that there were still many aspects to clean up, with repeated mechanical problems in the area of the suspensions and the shock absorber.
With Carlos Sainz fighting for the 'Touareg' after sinking again in navigation, the Audi project failed without the bays of Stéphane Peterhansel and Mattias Ekström, both due to mechanical problems. Events that were repeated once and again during the first week of the race in the Audi RS Q e-tron and that also affected Carlos Sainz, helped on two occasions by Peterhansel to continue his career. The lack of competitive tests and the few kilometers of Audi RS Q e-tron tires have caused the brand to be using the Dakar 2022 case as a 'macrotest' to solve problems such as the shock absorbers.

A result that only allows Audi to cash out and boast of the Audi RS Q e-tron on its debut in Dakar. Indeed, the optimism within the project is great, as Carlos Sainz recognized after the eighth stage. The Audi 4x4 hybrid has great potential and a lot of margin for improvement, something that in the first place goes through a slimming diet that allows the Audi RS Q e-tron to approach the weight of the Toyota or Prodrive 4x4s. It is clear that Audi is not about to win the Dakar 2022, but only to be judge of the edition while the project advances with a firm step.
