Before becoming a talented navigator, Jean-Marie Lurquin was a rally driver. He discovered the Dakar in 1990. This first experience finished with a retirement, but the Belgian knew that he would be back... Since then, he has alternated between car and truck entries, entering every race. With 14 Dakar participations and counting, as well as a number of rounds of the World Cup, Jean-Marie is an expert as far as the African trails are concerned. Twice finishing second overall in the World Cup for Cross Country Rallies, first with Josep-Maria Servia, and then alongside Jean-Louis Schlesser, Jean-Marie Lurquin has a number of fine wins on his career record. The only thing he is missing, although he came close in 2004, is undoubtedly the most prized of all, the Dakar. Extremely enthusiastic at the idea of driving with Giniel de Villiers, Jean-Marie could well surpass himself...
