Dakar 2022 – The Bedouin touch and sand on the menu
Dear Competitors, 
   
All travellers have their own style, preferences and habits. At the Dakar, we like to travel like vagabonds, dedicated to discovery and wonder, and in our case, to technical performance and endurance under extreme conditions. 
  
Saudi Arabia offers an immense variety of wide open spaces and unique places to satisfy this thirst, even for the most demanding.
   
In terms of terrain, the route of the 2022 edition will be characterised in particular by a push into the Empty Quarter: a vast expanse of desert with sands and dunes that beckon the drivers and crews of the rally.
  
See you soon on the Dakar tracks.  
David Castera

The Dakar 2022 is heading south
To seek out challenges worthy of those who let nothing stop them in their tracks, the 2022 route will venture into the Empty Quarter, which is as sandy as it is mysterious.
  
Surrounded by vast stretches of sand and dunes, the experts in the saddle or behind the wheel will be able to take advantage of the landscape, provided that they put their navigation skills.
Dakar Classic : the passion for rallying is timeless
In its first edition, the “Dakar Classic” category attracted around 30 vehicles from before the year 2000.
  
This year, regularity will no longer be the only evaluation criterion. On some sections representing about 20% of the course, only navigation will be judged: there will be no stopwatch, and each excess kilometre covered will cost the drivers points.
Key dates
The registration for the Dakar 2022 and for the Dakar Classic will open on May, 17th
