Back in 1977 Thierry Sabine "found himself" lost in the Libyan desert during the Abidjan-Nice Rally. By this I mean that in the midst of participating in another race, Thierry experienced a bit of a personal revelation. His new found passion for the desert led him to conceive the original race starting in Europe and finishing at Dakar. The spirit of this race is probably best captured in his words describing the race -
"A challenge for those who go. A dream for those who stay behind."
Jaeger-LeCoultre has captured the spirit of this race with their Master Compressor Extreme Chronograph, and with their partnership with world renowned motor cyclist Vasilis Orfanos
Vasilis Orfanos is taking part in his 5th Dakar rally, and is looking forward to adding to his long list of achievements.
