PHOTOS: Dakar Rally 2023 build-up
Toby Price from Red Bull KTM Factory Racing testing in Merzougha for Rally Dakar 2023

The 45th Dakar Rally starts in Saudi Arabia on New Years Eve, and will cover the country from coast-to-coast for the first time over 8500 kilometres. Former rally world champions Carlos Sainz and Sebastien Loeb are both chasing outright victory, in an electrified Audi RS Q e-tron E2 and Bahrain Raid Xtreme Hunter T1+ respectively, but Toyota Gazoo Racing will throw everything at the event to repeat its victory at the previous Dakar in 2022 in the GR DKR Hilux T1+.

Australians in the hunt on two wheels include two-time winner and factory KTM rider Toby Price and GasGas rider Daniel Sanders, while on four wheels Molly Taylor and co-driver Dale Moscatt return with Can-Am South Racing for their second running of the legendary event.

Read our preview of the 2023 Dakar here.
