Jacques Barichella before the second Dakar. This was a publicity photo and you can be sure he did not look like this by the time he finished.The first race was in 1978 and organised by the old racer Thierry Sabine which whom I used to race in 1972.The event had 200+ drivers and bikers in the early days. Jacques did the rally twice and finished each time which is a real result.Bravo Jacques and his friend Tricard. This year, 1984 they had a Mercedes 280 GE.
