The DAKAR 2019 will span over 5,000 kilometers and will consist of ten stages \u2013 seven which are sand and dunes. As dunes are the toughest and most challenging part of the DAKAR, it is also my favourite part, and we will be travelling to Namibia six times to practice in the sand as the Namibian desert offers very similar conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continues, \u201cDuring DAKAR 2018 our strategy was to race at 80% of our capacity, as our goal was simply just to finish. It was our dream to finish in the Top 30 and so we were absolutely ecstatic to end 28th overall. For DAKAR 2019 we will aim first and foremost to complete the race, and then our objective is to improve on the 2018 results, and finish in the Top 20.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Key facts:<br \/> \u2022 Hennie is a motorsport fanatic and has 5 years experience off-road racing<br \/> \u2022 Winner of DAKAR 2018 Rookie Award (total of 32 Rookies entered)<br \/> \u2022 2018 marks Hennie\u2019s 1st participation in the DAKAR as South Africa\u2019s only privateer<br \/> \u2022 Hennie is the first South African ever to win the DAKAR Rookie Award<br \/> \u2022 During DAKAR 2018, Hennie started in position number 54 \u2013 a noticeable accomplishment considering it was his 1st DAKAR and he therefore didn\u2019t have an international seeding<\/p>\n<p>Follow Hennie\u2019s progress on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p><small><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/hennie-de-klerk-dakar-2018-rookie-winner-to-participate-again-in-dakar-2019\/\">MyPR<\/a><\/small><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/submit\">Submit your own Press Release<\/a> or get free content for your publication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video &#8211; How to post your Press Release on MyPR:<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9ovzdChGkuU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><small>My Press Release (MyPR) provides free South African targeted content and press releases for on and off line publishers and media.
