DAKAR RALLY

RACING TO THE EXTREME in 2025

Founded in 1979 the Dakar Rally has become one of the worlds most revered sporting events. A motorsports race, endurance event and survival challenge all rolled into one. In 2020 the race moved to Saudi Arabia for it's 30th country of competition. The unique landscape covers cities, desert, mountains, canyons and wadis, with 50% of the racing taking place in the ‘Empty Quarter’ across mountainous sand dunes.

 

The large landscape and expanse of the race is covered by over 200 production staff ensuring that fans and followers can engage with the race over every kilometre of competition. Dakar also provides full support for live tracking of competitors.

We will be updating everyone daily on James' progress and recording a behind-the-scenes vlog.
