After its landmark one-two-three success on January’s Dakar, Peugeot Total’s Dream Team will enter  three factory Peugeot DKRs into the 2017 Silk Way Rally (SWR) on July 7-22.

Peugeot Sport has confirmed that these cars will be in the hands of Cyril Despres, Sebastien Loeb and Stephané Peterhansel once again.

Last year Team Peugeot Total won the 2016 Silk Way Rally and they will once again strive to prove the strength and competitive potential of the two-wheel drive Peugeot DKR.

The event will take the three Peugeot DKRs from Moscow’s Red Square in Russia to Xi’an, China, via the Kazakh Steppe and the Mongolian desert on an extreme adventure to back the international offensive of Peugeot’s SUV range which is enjoying significant success in Europe and China.
