THE TEAM
SPEED, EXPERIENCE & DETERMINATION
We had one of the most experienced driver line-ups in the Dakar 2023 with nearly 50 events between them. Our drivers know what it takes to win the Dakar and in their co-drivers, have some of the best cross country navigators in the world. At the Dakar, it's not just about the pace and skill of the driver, it's about teamwork and ensuring you navigate the car across featureless desert without the aid of modern GPS or maps.
And behind the cars is an experienced team run by world-leading motorsport business, Prodrive, who have won nearly everything there is in the sport including six World Rally Championship titles; seven Le Mans titles; and six FIA World Endurance Championship titles.
