The 2023 Dakar was the 45th running of this world famous desert rally raid and I joined the Audi Motorsport team out in Saudi to see what it takes to race at the highest level on this gruelling 9000km, 15-day event.

"No one tries to win the classic, they just take part to enjoy it." I love that, just a lot of people in vehicles having a great time. The driver vs. nature style of Dakar where even just finishing it is an accomplishment is really cool. Excellent video, Harry makes it special with his massive enthusiasm and knowledge. Harry, I hope you also make more videos for Sandraiders and Mille Miglia again too. Thanks for sharing your Dakar trip with us! 👍👍👍

Fantastic video, thanks for that. Personally the Dakar lost some of its magic when it stopped actually running to Dakar. But that takes nothing away from the skill, guts and resilience of all of the competitors. Dave R is right to call it the Everest of Motorsport. That last shot of the Audi running along the side of the dune was stunning.

The risk and bravery of the bike riders is on a whole different level to the cars and trucks. Shame it’s become such a big money event , gone away from the original 70’s & 80’s ethos. I guess that’s no different to many other forms of modern motorsport though.

Great video, Harry! Superb atmosphere: excitement, respect, awe, anticipation. I'm not in this league, but I drove the old-school East African Safari twice in the '80s [once 'wet', once 'dry'] and finished both times, but only just (we were eleven hours late on the wet event). I'd love to try the modern Dakar, but tackling those dunes at speed is daunting. It's ridiculous but true to think that even if my car survived, I could be forced out of the event by my sports bra's suspension failing. 🤭

It must be an awesome experience watching and competing in an event like that. A few years ago, were in the middle of Morrocco and were woken early to the sound of serious engine noises just outside our rooms. Turned out it was Team Cummins France, and another truck team and Team KTM doing some training on the dunes around our hotel prior to that years Dakhr. Impressive to watch them thrash around, but more impressive watching the trucks and bike fly into the hotel car park, up on the jacks, wheels off, suspension changed and out again in less time it too to have a couple of sips on the morning Flat White...Bloody impressive, and super envious of you mate.
