Odmah nakon početka godine očekuje nas najveće i najzahtevnije off road takmičenje na svetu. Zahtevno reli takmičenje, 43. po redu Dakar reli za 2021. godinu počeće 3. i trajaće do 15. januara u pustinji Saudijske Arabije. To je drugi uzastopni put da se Dakar reli održava u Saudijskoj Arabiji i start, ali i završetak počeće u pustinji Džeda.
Nova ruta
Za potrebe 43. Dakar relija smišljena je drugačija ruta u odnosu na onu koja je vožena prošle godine. Konkretno, organizatori su se potrudili da ubace nešto sporije i tehnički zahtevnije deonice.
Pre početka relija voziće se “Prologue” etapa na kojoj će se odrediti starni poredak vozača. Nakon toga, 3. januara počinje prva etapa, a prvi dan pauze vozače očekuje 9. januara.

108 motociklista, 21 kvad i obavezni “Air bag”
Učešće na Dakar reliju uzeće 108 motociklista i 21 kvad. Naš jedini predstavnik i ove godine će biti Gabor Sagmajster koji će godine nastupati u kategoriji u kojoj je ograničena pomoć mehaničara, to jest, većinu poslova oko održavanja moraće sam da odradi.
Što se bezbednosti tiče, organizatori su od ove godine uveli obavezne “Air bag” kombinezone za sve učesnike u kategoriji motocikala i kvadova.
