What awaits you in the speed section?

According to David Castera, Dakar Rally director, it’s like a kind of crossover stage. Because the route from the bivouac to the start and from the finish line to the next bivouac is 476 km, while the length of the GR is only 337 km. There will be a total of two days of this type of “crossing” on the Dakar Rally.

Castera says this is one of the most fun speed sections for racers who like fast technical driving. And 813 km (common route) per day is certainly not little.

The organizers point out that the fourth route will have the following coverage: 65 percent. sand, 31 percent. soil and 4 percent. stones There will no longer be dunes.
