  • New Renault Race Truck for Firemen Dakarteam
    --- PRESS RELEASE --- Hillegom, June 25th 2019 NEW RENAULT RACE TRUCK FOR FIREMEN DAKARTEAM Firemen Dakarteam during 2019 rally in Peru The Firemen Dakarteam will start the Dakar Rally in January 2020 with a (for them) new racing truck. To continue their upward trend after three rallies, it is time for the next step; an even better truck. A few weeks after the finish of the Dakar 2019, we came in contact with racing truck manufacturer MKR in the Czech Republic. Not long afterwards we visited the factory in the Czech Republic. MKR already produces (Renault) racing trucks for top international professional teams (including Riwald and the Mammoet Rally team). “A different surface means a different configuration of the truck. To make the current truck lighter, stronger, more modern and stiffer for the 2020 rally, meant so much work has to be done that we might as well start thinking about another / new(er) truck”, says Richard de Groot. Together with Mario Kress (director and owner of MKR Group Europe) we had several good conversations. “The Firemen Dakarteam is a very serious team that wants to continue to grow in the positive Dakar spirit. Not only for himself, but also for their partners, sponsors and the organizing countries ”- says Kress. In the end, the Firemen Dakarteam and MKR agreed that the Firemen Dakarteam can use the truck of Janus van Kasteren from the previous rally for the 2020 rally. “A considerable step forward for the 2020 Dakar Rally. To be honest, that is a dream I never thought would come true.

  • Toyota Gazoo Racing Announces 2020 Dakar Rally Team
    Thursday, October 24, 2019 Toyota Motor Corporation GAZOO Racing Company TOYOTA GAZOO RACING ANNOUNCES 2020 DAKAR RALLY TEAM TOYOTA GAZOO Racing today announced an all-star line-up for the Dakar Rally scheduled to take place for the first time in Saudi Arabia in January 2020. The works team features four crews consisting of Nasser Al- Attiyah and navigator Mathieu Baumel; Giniel de Villiers and navigator Alex Haro; Bernhard Ten Brinke and navigator Tom Colsoul; and Fernando Alonso and navigator Marc Coma. The team has been competing at the Dakar Rally since 2012 and, as TOYOTA GAZOO Racing South Africa, achieved Toyota’s first overall victory earlier this year with Nasser and Mathieu. Since its first Dakar Rally entry, the team recorded best overall results of 3rd (2012), 2nd (2013), 4th (2014), 2nd (2015), 3rd (2016), 5th (2017) and 2nd (2018). For the upcoming edition of the legendary rally, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing will field a mix of experienced rally- raid specialists, together with relative newcomers to the discipline. Nasser and Mathieu will be looking to defend their Dakar Rally title to add to their impressive list of achievements, including multiple FIA World Cups for Cross Country Rallies and Dakar Rally victories. Giniel is another experienced campaigner with the 2009 Dakar Rally victory to his name and four Rally of Morocco crowns, the latest coming earlier this month with his new navigator Alex.
