The 2020 Dakar Rally is the 42nd edition of the event and the first edition held in Saudi Arabia. The event starts in Jeddah on 5 January and finishes in Qiddiya 17 January after 12 stages of competition.
This is also the first event under direction of David Castera, who replaced Etienne Lavigne when he stepped down from the role in March 2019 after 15 years in charge.
Summary
Host country selection
After 11 years in South America, the event is held in Asian continent for the first time ever. Organisers admitted that there was "hesitation" before the decision to hold the event in a country which has been under fire over human rights abuses and its recent involvement in the war in Yemen. [1] The contract to host the event in Saudi Arabia has been signed for the next five years, [2] although it is rumoured that the agreement is actually for ten years. [3] The event had been looking for alternatives, as it is believed that the relationships between the A.S.O. and South American governments have degraded over the last few years for a variety of reasons, including the disqualification of Bolivian favourite Juan Carlos Salvatierra from the quad class in 2019. [4]
The route
Total rally distance is close to 7,900 km (4,900 mi), with 5,000 km (3,100 mi) of special stages. The rally will start from Jeddah, head north along the Red Sea, pass through Red Sea Project towards ambitious city project Neom, and Qiddiya. The rally will turn east, towards capital Riyadh. After the rest day the rally will head south to the Arabian Desert, across the dunes of the Empty Quarter, then south-east into the Eastern Province as far as Shubaytah, and then back north-west to finish in Qiddiya. [5] David Castera, director of the Dakar said "I'm already inspired and delighted to have to design a course in such a monumental geography, made for the most audacious itineraries. We are spoilt for choice. Sports, navigation, a will to surpass oneself: all these aspects will naturally be glorified on this territory made for rally-raids.” [6]
The competitors
Many well known rally drivers enter this edition, including 13-time winner Stephane Peterhansel, and last year's winner Nasser Al-Attiyah. Former Formula One champion Fernando Alonso will make a debut in the event in car category. [7] [8] The official entry list consists of 351 vehicles (vs 334 in 2019). The entry list consist of 557 competitors, which represent 53 nationalities. Most dominant is French with 258 entries, followed by Spanish 77 and the Dutch 53. As the rally moved out of South America, the proportion of South American entrants has logically decreased, however it is still strong with 42 vehicle entries. The most significant increase is from host country Saudi Arabia - 18 (13 drivers/riders and 5 navigators). 65 competitors will have taken part in Dakar rallies on four continents. The oldest contestant is 73 years old, while the youngest will turn 18 during the event. There are 13 female contestants. [9]
Changes in regulations
Several new formats were introduced in this edition of the rally. The roadbooks, which are now in color, on six stages were handed out 15 minutes prior to the start of the timed sector. The aim was reduce competitive advantage of the big teams and to rebalance the parameters in favour of the less professional entries. In order to eliminate cheating with technology only affordable by the largest teams, all unapproved competitor electronic devices needed to be locked in a sealed compartment during the race. Also, the organizers placed cameras inside top 19 participant vehicles to be able to review footage if suspicion arises. [10] On top of already traditional all vehicle marathon stage, a motorcycle "Super Marathon" stage was introduced, where only 10 minutes of work on the machines were allowed. Compulsory bike and quad 15 min. breaks while refueling were now extended to all vehicle categories. Competitors who were forced to retire will be permitted to re-join the rally in the “Dakar Experience” classification, similar to the "Rally 2" classification used in the World Rally Championship.[11] This year all UTV's were homogenized into a single FIA T3 category for lightweight buggies (< 900 kg) with an engine size less than 1,000 cc. Fitted with restrictors, UTV's were sub-categorized into T3.S (production vehicles) limited to 120 km/h and T3.P (prototypes) limited to 130 km/h. [12]
Entry lists
Last minute changes
French motorcycle rider Michael Metge has announced that he is withdrawing from entering the event due to knee injury. His brother Adrien Metge took his place. [13] Polish motorcycle rider Jackek Bartoszek also have suffered knee injury while training, and was not be able to start. [14]
Another Polish sportsman Sebastian Rozwadowski, co-driver to Benediktas Vanagas became ill with tropical virus while on holidays, and was forced to withdraw. Last year 11-th placed Benediktas Vanagas managed to reach agreement with Filipe Palmeiro as his replacement co-driver. [15] Filipe was to start the event as Boris Garafulic co-driver until Boris announced his withdrawal from 2020 rally due to political situation in Chile. [16] Stéphane Peterhansel was due to start with his wife Andrea as co-driver, however, pre-race medical tests revealed a health concern, and Andrea withdrew. Stephane's new co-pilot became Paulo Fiúza, although they both lack fluency in English, their common language. [17]
During the shakedown three days before the start Martin Kolomý crashed his Ford Raptor. In addition to injuring his back, the rollcage of his vehicle was damaged enough to rule him out of starting the rally. [18]
In UTV category Cyril Despres got the last minute call-up to start in OT3 buggy with co-driver Mike Horn. [19] Artur Ardavichus could not resolve issues with his license in time and gave up his place in the team to fellow-Kazakh Denis Berezovskiy. [20]
