Toyota Gazoo Racing announced this Monday the project in which they will try to revalidate the victory in the 2023 Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia. They once again entrusted the three GR DKR Hilux T1+ in the hands of current champion Nasser Al Attiyah, former champion Giniel de Villiers and Henk Lategan.
“We’re faster and we’ve come very well,” said Glyn Hall, the team’s manager, in an online presentation where he said his champion prototype had undergone “literally hundreds of improvements over the last year (prototype) “. Hall assured that the goal they have set is to take all three places on the podium with their three drivers, although he reckons this is “unrealistic. We hope to get at least one podium in one of the our drivers.”
Al Attiyahwho participated in the press conference from Qatar, assured that “the one who makes fewer navigational errors will win. In addition, the car has been improving throughout the year, and I am sure that, in the test that just ended us in Namibia, we have reached the best possible version of the car.”
Of the four Touaregs, he is the most successful of the triplet, but he again shares a structure with whoever was champion in 2009, the first Dakar in South America, Giniel De Villiers, who will have Dennis Murphy as co-driver, while Henk Lategan, also a South African, will have Brett Cummings on the right side of the cabin.
