This year, the race takes participants through the demanding landscapes of Saudi Arabia, a route that will push both drivers and vehicles to their limits.

Final Preparations: The Countdown to the Dakar Rally

The Dakar Rally is renowned for its harsh conditions, demanding not only driving skills from its participants but also strategic planning and physical endurance. The Energylandia Rally Team, having made intensive preparations, is now on the verge of departing for Saudi Arabia. The transportation of vehicles and equipment from Barcelona to Yanbu – a logistical feat – has been completed. These preparations are crucial, as the rally demands precise coordination between man and machine.

Technical Tuning and Safety Checks

The cars and RVs of the team, along with all spare parts and personal items, have been meticulously prepared for transit. Every detail, from technical suitability to safety equipment, has been thoroughly checked to ensure everything meets the high standards of the Dakar Rally.

Departure to Saudi Arabia: A Journey into the Unknown

Led by Eryk Goczal, the winner of the Dakar Rally 2023 in the T4 class, the team will depart for Saudi Arabia on December 30th. Their arrival in Yanbu marks the beginning of a new chapter in their rally history. Here, they will receive their vehicles and equipment, preparing for their first tests on Saudi soil.

Al Ula: The Heart of the Rally Service Park

From January 1st to 5th, Al Ula will become the nerve center of the Energylandia Rally Team. During this time, vital administrative controls and a final, thorough technical inspection will take place. These processes are essential to ensure compliance with rally regulations and the safety of the participants.

The Prologue: The Starting Gun for the Dakar Rally

The actual rally begins on January 5th with a prologue, a short but intense special stage covering 27 kilometers. This prologue serves as a dress rehearsal, giving teams the chance to adjust to the upcoming challenges.

The Challenge: 8,000 Kilometers of Extreme Rally

The Dakar Rally 2024 takes participants on a nearly 8,000-kilometer route through Saudi Arabia, with over 4,700 kilometers in special stages. The route is littered with various obstacles, from treacherous dunes to impassable stone paths. Each kilometer presents a new challenge, demanding the utmost concentration and endurance.

The Innovation: Asphalt Stages in the Dakar Rally

A significant innovation this year is the introduction of asphalt stages, adding a dimension to the rally. The Energylandia Rally Team has intensively prepared for this change, optimizing their Taurus T3 MAX cars specifically for these conditions.

The Support: Strong Partners by Their Side

The team can count on the support of strong partners: Energylandia, Energy2000, Western Camp Resort, Vitabri, Diverse, and RMF FM. These partnerships are an important part of their success, providing both financial and moral support.

A Team on the Path to Success

The Energylandia Rally Team is ready to make history at the Dakar Rally 2024. With comprehensive preparations, a strong team spirit, and the support of their partners, they are well-equipped to take on the challenges of this merciless race. In the coming weeks, the world will witness how this team pursues its dreams and ambitions in the deserts of Saudi Arabia.
