Your Roadmap to Car Knowledge

While not classified in the FIA results as it is an Experimental car, M-Sport’s new Ford Raptor T1+ is technically already a race winner after being the fastest at the Hungarian Baja.

The 2025 Dakar Rally and off-road season will be the last before the FIM requires all bike and quad riders to switch to the newly homologated FRHPhe-02 helmet.

Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Famer Bill Savage aims to use his new role as NORRA’s technical director to emphasise competitor safety while ensuring vintage cars that race maintain their historic luster.

After racing a Peugeot 504 Coupe at the 2024 Dakar Classic, Patrice Auzet will drive a Renault 30 based on the car that Jean-Pierre Gabreau raced at the 1981 Paris–Dakar Rally.

Dušan Drdaj will race under the new Cajdašrot Dakar Team banner for his second career Dakar Rally in 2025.
