Dakar Classic: The Hidden Racing Gem
The Dakar Classic revives the adventure of rally raids with classic cars over desert dunes. Not about speed, it's a test of precision and nostalgia, celebrating vehicles like the Porsche 959, Audi Quattro, and Citroën 2CV Sahara.
There is a pure and magnificent Dakar, one dedicated to enthusiasts driving classic cars over desert dunes as they once did, with real vehicles, not extraordinary but highly specialized machines of today's race. Why isn't it talked about?
This new racing format, which takes place alongside the modern Dakar Rally, certainly deserves more attention. Now in its fifth edition, the Dakar Classic has grown from just 24 vehicles at its debut in 2021 to over 100 teams starting on January 3 in Bisha, Saudi Arabia. Participants will face a challenging course of 7,246 km, including 4,033 km of special stages.
