The Dakar Rally gets under way on New Year's Day with Toyota Gazoo Racing Dakar Team looking to defend their crown. | Sport24news
Qatar's Nasser Al-Attiyah and French co-driver, Mathieu Baumel brought the mighty GR DKR Hilux T1+ home in first place at the end of the 2022 edition of the race. This was Nasser and Mathieu's second victory for the team, and they will be aiming for a repeat performance early in the new year.
"The Dakar Rally really is the big one! We've had a great year, winning the first ever W2RC title. But we'd love to add another Dakar victory to the list, and we are sure that the car is good enough to bring us that win," said Al-Attiyah. For the South African pairing of Henk Lategan and co-driver Brett Cummings, their first two Dakar Rallies together proved learning experiences.
