CORDOBA, Argentina: Spanish veteran Carlos Sainz clinched overall victory in the 2018 Dakar Rally on Saturday finishing the 14th and final stage around Cordoba in Argentina for his second win in the race.
The 55-year-old ended atop the overall standings ahead of a pair of Toyota drivers, two-time winner Qatar’s Nasser Al-Attiyah and South African Giniel de Villiers in third. Finishing ninth on the day Sainz retained a huge 43 minutes 40 seconds advantage on arrival at the finishing line of the 40th edition.
