Al-Attiyah dreams of equaling Sainz’s record: “I will give everything with Dacia”

Date:

Nasser Al-Attiyah (December 21, 1970) he may have all the money and prestige in the world but his human treatment is exceptional. Proof of this is that he opened the doors of his house Castellfollit del Boix, the Nasser Campin the Red Bull and Dacia family to join forces with other personalities from the motor world such as Laia Sanz, Cristina Guitérrez or Gil Membrado. Another example is that in Dakar you will find rivals but this does not mean that they stop being a family

Part of the press, including MD, also welcomed him. And when we ask for five minutes of your time to talk about your adventure with Dacia Sandrider, his car for the 2025 Dakar, did not hesitate for a second. And he also did not hesitate to clarify that his dream was to win the Touareg in his fourth different brand, something he only achieved. Carlos Sainz Sr.

First of all, what a great place Nasser Camp is preparing for the Dakar…

“Yes, we are very happy to have this house in Catalonia, in Castellfollit del Boix. We train a lot here, many friends come, we do tests for the Dakar. The truth is that it is an amazing place”

First year in the Dacia project, which debuts in the Dakar in 2025. Is the goal set for the Touareg to be a winner or are there other priorities?

Yes Yes. The goal is to win the next Dakar. We have a great car and a great team. We are conducting many tests from now on. We will go to Morocco three times to shoot and then we will also compete there, in the last round of the World Rally Championship. I repeat, the car (the Sandrider) is competitive and the brand bet big.

Do you think Loeb might have some kind of advantage, having been in the structure for more years with Hunter?

apparently not. After all, this is a new project with a completely new car. In fact, we are now leading the World Championship with Hunter and I think it will be open to everyone if our team is strong with me and Loeb and of course Cristina Gutiérrez as well.

How did you feel about the tests you’ve done?

Truth is such a wonderful feeling. The step forward compared to the Hunter is huge. We are very happy and many more tests are near-

What are the car’s strong points and what are the areas where you think there is more room for improvement?

Right now it’s still early. As I say, we have a lot of tests to see where we are. I’m sure we’ll have some problems but at the moment it seems like a strong car.

And he has a challenge to win his fourth different brand…

Yes, this is my big dream. I will do everything in my power to achieve this.

What other equipment have you learned that you can introduce to Dacia?

We learned a lot. As you know, I have a lot of experience with Volkswagen, MINI and Toyota. I think we added a lot of positive things from that to the Dacia project.

Carlos Sainz is also starting a project with Ford, so the favorites start from scratch … what are your expectations for him?

I’m sure Carlos will be very competitive. Ford is a strong team and Sainz is a good development driver and I am sure that the battle for the next Dakar will be good.
