Camellia Liparoti, first woman in "Quad" Class, Dakar 2012

After eight thousand miles, on Sunday the Chamoniarde Camellia Liparoti crossed the "Plaza de Armas" in Lima (Peru), under the eye of the statue of the fountain. It was quite an achievement. Who could imagine this tiny blonde riding a powerful quad over the dunes, mountain passes and high roads of South America? Thirty-three quads started this South American Dakar, but only 12 arrived at the finish. Camillia came in in an amazing 9th place. "It was a very tiring Dakar. I managed, despite all the difficulties, to finish! I am satisfied, but if it wasn't for the problem of "fesh-fesh" in Peru, and a penalty taken during the rest-day to change the engine (15 minutes... Ed), I could have ranked higher ... "And the rider finished by saying:" I'm ready to do better in 2013! " We don't doubt her for a moment, seeing that she's the only woman who dared to try the Dakar adventure on a quad!
