A.R.

  • For over a decace, Andrei Rudnitski has become a reference in terms of navigating. He has seen it all on off-road events around the globe, partnering with many different drivers.
  • He first appeared on the Dakar alongside Lithuania’s Benediktas Vanagas with whom he finished both his maiden rallies on South American soil.
  • He then was asked to mentor and guide the young and promising former biker Kuba Przygonski. And it was with the Polish driver that he captured his best ever performance (15th in 2016).
  • After several other experiences in South-America and Saudi Arabia, he has now settled down with Khalid Al Jafla.
  • While their last two experiences on the Dakar ended early, they were boosted by their recent third place in the FIA World Baja Cup (Challenger class) and will be hoping to finally shine on the world’s toughest stage.
