Er, the article mentions Al-Attiyah as the Toyota's lead driver, not that he joined Ford.

Prodrive signed a partnership with Dacia (oh!) and Saudi Aramco to compete in the 2025 Dakar Rally.
Drivers will be Sébastien Loeb and Cristina Gutiérrez. That's the same duo that had competed in Extreme E with Lewis Hamilton's team X44 in 2021 and 2022. |

Curious to see what Nasser does in the Prodrive. I think it might be Audi's year. I think Quintero is good for a stage win or two but can't see him winning it yet.
Bikes are really stacked with top riders this year. I couldn't possibly guess who will win that. Pulling for Skyler, tho. |

Dacia is a new team or is there an existing team behind it? Like X-Raid behind the Audi team.

I'd say new team with experienced drivers and - so important- co-drivers (navigateurs) but Prodrive are not new in this field. Hard to believe that Renault are not involved in the development at some point.
@ NaBUru: thanks for your two lists, great job again. |

Sébastien Loeb team BRX: "I have no other plans, apart from winning the Dakar". Loud and clear, Seb! Just hope Nasser will agree. From Alula to yanbu, they can think about strategy driving along the 7890 plus one kilometers.

If you wonder what is left from an Hilux when in Dakar guise:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6rD_aCUo2E
I could visit serveral times Maingret bros premises (located at Pont de Vaux, F) and not much of the Mitsu trucks was done in Japan (engine and aero mainly). Only few days to see if works teams have already given instructions or more likely when they will do so. Go Dakar rallye! |

Argentine quad riders have claimed that the ASO is pushing to kill the class, and the FM is pushing to prevent that.

@JR: I remember you can do with french language. If you can catch L'Équipe you'll have what they call "directs" means live, no images but text instead of. Temps forts means highlights. Today's progression: https://www.lequipe.fr/Rallye-raid/a...pe-2-live/3474
Hope it's good for you. |

Thanks! Did you watch the post stage live chat between Loeb and Peterhansel? Even out of the car they go on playing cat and mouse. They both are very much experienced in this field too…
