Organized for the first time in 1979, originally from Paris to the senegalese capital, then in South America from 2009, and since the 2020 edition in Saudi Arabia, the Dakar is an iconic event which severely challenge the abilities of its competitors.
Biggest rally-raid in the world, the Dakar Rally is traditionnally the first round of the FIA-FIM World Rally Raid Championship since its creation in 2022. A competition of extremes and an orienteering race, the Dakar brings together the leading rally raid riders and drivers, as well as amateur competitors who come to experience an adventure and face an exceptional challenge, sometimes the challenge of a lifetime.
Among the difficulties the competitors will have to face, the Empty Quarter desert will be explored, vast part of the Saudi territory where dunes are everywhere.
