🏁 Dakar 2025: Toyota dominates the car category – No surprise that a man named Sanders had the best instincts in the desert on a bike!

What a rally! Dakar 2025 lived up to its reputation as the toughest race on the planet. Unexpected exits from top favorites kept the drama high in Saudi Arabia, but there were also standout performances that left us in awe.

🏍️ Motorbikes: Daniel Sanders (AUS) delivered an impressive show in the desert, leaving his competitors in the dust. He dominated on two wheels, riding his beastly KTM 450 Rally Factory.

🚗 Cars: Toyota made a strong statement in the Ultimate class with four cars finishing in the top ten. The winner: Yazeed Al-Rajhi (SAU), alongside his German co-driver Timo Gottschalk, who clinched his second Dakar title. Their desert monster: the Toyota GR DKR Hilux Evo, powered by a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engine based on the Land Cruiser 300, proving its toughness and reliability with 360 horsepower.
