Volkswagen claims first and second place at 2009 Dakar Rally



Volkswagen has taken the top two spots at this year’s Dakar Rally, which incidentally was hosted in South America due to terrorist threats in the event’s usual homeland of Northern Africa. This year also saw a diesel vehicle take victory in the automobile class for the first time in the event’s thirty year history. VW factory driver and off-road motorsport veteran, Mark Miller, also made history as the highest finishing American that has ever raced in the Dakar Rally. The rally was won by South African-German duo Giniel de Villiers and Dirk von Zitzewitz.
