JANUARY 17, 2020 | Dakar Rally 2020 Saudi Arabia | Finish
They made it! After more than 7,500kms of dust, high dunes and stones we finally reached the end of the Dakar 2020. And as result, the Firemen Dakar Team is on 13th place of the general. Great work guys! ?

JANUARY 5, 2020 – JANUARY 13, 2020 | Dakar Rally 2020 Saudi Arabia | STAGE 1 – STAGE 8
Quick summary!
 
It’s now about a week since the Dakar started. During this period a lot happened! In a good way, of course.. The Firemen Dakar team proved to us that no matter what the conditions are they keep going
 
Stage 1: Jeddah – Al Wajh
Liaison > 433 km – Special > 319 km
ASS: 16th place
 
Stage 2: Al Wajh – Neom
Liaison > 26 km – Special > 367 km
ASS: 19th place
 
Stage 3: Neom – Neom
Liaison > 77 km – Special > 427 km
ASS: 4th place
 
This was a quite special outcome. The team started that day from 19th place and finished as 4th. Unfortunately, is this outcome impossible. Because the Dakar had technical failure with timing. But on the bright side, the team started the next day from the 4th place.
 
Stage 4: Neom – Al-`Ula
Liaison > 219 km – Special > 453 km
ASS: 20th place
 
The Firemen Dakar team started good, till they had problems with the gearbox. It caused more than an hour delay for the team, despite that they reached the finish anyway!
 
Stage 5: Al-`Ula – Ha’il
Liaison > 211 km – Special > 353 km
ASS: 19th place
 
Stage 6: Ha’il – Riyadh
Liaison > 353 km – Special > 477 km
ASS: 17th place
 
Stage 7: Riyadh – Wadi Al Dawasir
Liaison > 195 km – Special > 546 km
ASS: 18th place
 
Stage 8: Wadi Al Dawasir – Wadi Al Dawasir
Liaison > 239 km – Special > 477 km
ASS: 15th place
