Koen Wauters is a dakarist. Many people know him as the singer of Clouseau, as a presenter on television or as the BV that has been racing on the Zolder circuit for thirty years. But if you really want to get to know Koen Wauters, you should go with him to the Dakar, the toughest desert rally in the world. Between 1996 and 2012, Koen took part in the Dakar twelve times. Only twice he had to give up in his eyes, still twice too many. Deep in the desert, any hint of showbiz is far away. There it is him against the endless dunes, with a copilot by his side and a sturdy Toyota Land Cruiser under his butt. In this book Koen Wauters tells how chance sent him to Dakar and how he was immediately bitten by it. This is the story of a man who calms down when the adrenaline rushes, a man whose greatest reward after a rough ride is a big hug from his mechanics. Because the Dakar is an adventure that he experiences with the entire Feryn Dakar Sport team. This is also the story of a man who turned his back on his passion when his two children grew up. Who looked death in the eye a number of times, deep in the desert and decided: no more Dakar from now on. But nothing is forever, except the call of the desert. In 2022, Koen Wauters will return to the real thing. He is far from done with the dunes. Singer and television presenter Koen Wauters (1967) made his debut as a racing driver in 1992 at the 24 Hours of Zolder. Since then he has appeared at the start of the iconic race almost every year. In 1996 Koen took part in the Dakar rally for the first time. After a ten-year break, he picked up again in 2022. In 2023 he will take part in the toughest rally in the world for the fourteenth time.
Koen Wauters is een dakarist. Veel mensen kennen hem als zanger van Clouseau, als presentator op televisie of als de BV die al dertig jaar gaat racen op het circuit van Zolder. Maar wie Koen Wauters echt wil leren kennen, moet met hem naar de Dakar, de zwaarste woestijnrally ter wereld. Tussen 1996 en 2012 nam Koen twaalf keer deel aan de Dakar. Slechts twee keer moest hij opgeven in zijn ogen nog altijd twee keer te veel. Diep in de woestijn is elke zweem van showbizz ver weg. Daar is het hij tegen de eindeloze duinen, met een copiloot aan zijn zijde en een stevige Toyota Land Cruiser onder zijn kont. In dit boek vertelt Koen Wauters hoe het toeval hem naar Dakar stuurde en hoe hij er onmiddellijk door gebeten was. Dit is het verhaal van een man die tot rust komt wanneer de adrenaline piekt, een man voor wie de grootste beloning na een lastige rit de stevige knuffel is van zijn mecaniciens. Want de Dakar is een avontuur dat hij beleeft met het hele team van Feryn Dakar Sport. Dit is ook het verhaal van een man die zijn passie de rug toekeerde toen zijn twee kinderen opgroeiden. Die de dood een aantal keer in de ogen heeft gekeken, diep in de woestijn en besliste: voortaan geen Dakar meer. Maar niets is voor altijd, behalve de roep van de woestijn. In 2022 keert Koen Wauters terug naar het echte werk. Hij is nog lang niet klaar met de duinen. Zanger en televisiepresentator Koen Wauters (1967) maakte in 1992 zijn debuut als autocoureur op de 24 uur van Zolder. Sindsdien verscheen hij haast ieder jaar aan de start van de iconische racewedstrijd. In 1996 nam Koen voor het eerst deel aan de Dakarrally. Na een pauze van tien jaar pikte hij in 2022 de draad weer op. In 2023 zal hij voor de veertiende keer deelnemen aan de zwaarste rally ter wereld.
Deze sleutelhanger is van het Mammoetrallyteam dat niet meer bestaat. Maar Martin van den Brink rijdt nog altijd mee. Inmiddels zit zijn zoon ook achter het stuur en doet hij heel goed mee.
De sleutelhanger heb ik gekregen tijdens een van de Dakar Preprologen. Een evenement dat niet meer bestaat.
Een deelname aan de rally is duur, misschien wel te duur. Geen Nederlandse motoren dit jaar, wel 6 deelnemers in de challenger klasse, ook bij de auto's en de classics 6 deelnemende Nederlandse teams. Bij de trucks een tegenvallende lijst van 8 Nederlandse teams. Dat waren er ooit wel 3x zo veel.
Het avontuur is drie dagen onderweg, ik kan dus nog even genieten.
Ik heb de foto in RAW opgeslagen en bewerkt tot foto.
Achtergrond is een foto van de Abu Dhabi woestijn waar ik in 2019 was.
This key ring belongs to the Mammoetrallyteam that no longer exists. But Martin van den Brink still drives. His son is now also behind the wheel and is doing very well.
I received the key ring during one of the Dakar Preprologues. An event that no longer exists.
Participation in the rally is expensive, perhaps too expensive. No Dutch motorcycles this year, but 6 participants in the challenger class, also 6 Dutch teams participating in the cars and the classics. A disappointing list of 8 Dutch teams for the trucks. There used to be 3x as many.
The adventure is three days underway, so I can still enjoy it for a while.
I saved the photo in RAW and edited it into a photo.
Background is a photo of the Abu Dhabi desert where I was in 2019.

Beaches become crowded at the end of the day when people come after work / school to train and play. Wresting and football are the two most popular sports.
Centre of Dakar, Senegal. Some very interesting, vibrant markets. There are sheep everywhere you look at the moment in Senegal.
