Harith’s 11th place finish is the best ever by an Indian at the Dakar Rally in Saudi
NEW DELHI: There was a clear instruction from Harith Noah to his team to not inform him about his position after every stage of the Dakar Rally. Having not finished the world's longest, most dangerous yet celebrated rally in the last two years, the Indian rider's aim was to finish the 7,600km raid this time around.
"Overall, I had no idea where I was or that I was in the fight for first spot. Whenever I go to Dakar my objective is just to finish," Harith said from his home in Shoranur, Kerala.
The Dakar is the Everest for all rallyists, a summit they want to conquer putting their lives at risk, a race they want to win not against competitors but against their own bodies and machines. Finishing the two-week long race after riding over sand, mud, camel grass and rocks, ignoring dehydration, cramps, pain and exhaustion-it is the ultimate endurance test in the world of motorsports.
