Efter denne etape var slaget om podie pladser tabt for Volkswagen, og selvom Kriss Nissen på hvilen dagen sagde, at der ikke var et pres om at de skulle vinde i år, vil jeg gætte på at han sidder i Dakar med en ærgerlig smag i munden.

Den som vi nok kan beundre mest er Jean-Louis Schlesser (Schlesser Buggy), som endnu engang viste at baghjulstrukne biler ikke er uden chancer i Dakar rallyet.

En anden stor bedrift fra løbet står Robby Gordon (Hummer) for. Han kom igennem det barske tærren med den kæmpe bil. Gordon kom igennem på en generel 11. plads, mens han vandt den klasse som han stillede op i.

Endnu engang viser det sig at langdistance racerløb ikke på nogen måde er forudsigeligt. VW vandt 10 etaper, men kommer ikke hjem med andet end det. Ingen top placering, og det udelukkende fordi de var uheldige på en etape.
