To the finish line with Henkel – official partner of the Dakar Series 2008

This year, for the fourth time, Henkel will accompany the race from the start in Budapest to the winner’s podium at the Balaton Lake in Balatonfüred. All competitors - professional teams as well as private drivers - will be supported by the company's own service team, widely known as the Teroson and Loctite® "Charlies". These specialists will be available during technical pre-checks and throughout the rally to provide advice and hands-on support. Henkel industrial adhesives and sealants are used for a great number of different repairs during the race. They include bonding with fast-curing adhesives (CA), plastic repair, windscreen replacement, threadlocking and sealing, gasketing and many other applications.
