The Ultimate Gift for Automotive Enthusiasts: Where Passion for Motorsport Comes Alive

During the holidays we receive and give gifts. The best gifts, however, are those we give ourselves. Those are never wrong, and Roarington, in addition to promising many gifts in 2026, would like to offer you some ideas for what you can gift to yourself or a fellow petrolhead. For example, why not book a flight to Yanbu, on the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia, where you can discover the unique and incredible Dakar Rally? Cars, motorcycles and trucks will compete in the Prologue on January 3rd (a must-see) before moving on to Al Ula, a magnificent ancient city that is a must-visit. From there, they will head to Riyadh. Then they will return to Yanbu, where the race will end on the 17th after more than 8,000 kilometres on routes that are unimaginable unless you see them. Not only that, but Dakar Classic will also take place in parallel, with cars built before 2006. Not one, but two spectacular events.

To stay with the adventure theme, another little-known but magnificent legend is the Baja California 1000 in Mexico. It is easy to get there from San Diego, reaching Ensenada just across the border. The race is run in one go, so you can watch it from a single vantage point, which must be chosen carefully, but this is not difficult with one thing in mind: cars, motorcycles and quads can choose their own trajectories, the road is only a suggestion, but any route is free!
