The 2026 Dakar, set to run from 3 to 17 January, will bring drivers and crews to the shores of the Red Sea in Yanbu for a loop route of around 8,000 kilometres, including 5,000 kilometres of timed sections.
Halfway through the rally, competitors will enjoy a rest day in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. In parallel with the opening of entries, David Castera unveiled the broad strokes of the 48th edition.
Two “marathon-refuge” stages in which only competitor-to-competitor assistance will be allowed and the backdrop will be stripped back to the bare essentials are among the defining moments of the rally.
The 2026 route will also see the return of separate courses for motorbikes and four-wheeled vehicles.
