Peugeot to leave Dakar after 2018
Peugeot's driver Stephane Peterhansel and co-driver Jean Paul Cottret compete
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Peugeot announced on Tuesday that next year's Dakar Rally will be their last, despite Stephane Peterhansel winning two consecutive car titles for the French team.
The manufacturer returned to the rally in 2015 and swept the 2017 podium in Buenos Aires in January, with Peterhansel beating fellow Frenchmen Sebastien Loeb and Cyril Despres.
"As this will be our final participation in the Dakar, we are keen to end this challenging programme on a high note," said Peugeot Sport director Bruno Famin.
Nine-time world rally champion Sebastien Loeb will head the team with Peterhansel, alongside Despres and 55-year-old Spaniard Carlos Sainz, the father of Renault Formula One driver Carlos Sainz Jr.
The 40th edition of the Dakar Rally will start in Lima on January 6, ending two weeks later in the Argentinian city of Cordoba.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
