2023 Dakar Rally Kicks Off as Price, Ekstrom Win Prologue

Each year, the global motorsport calendar kicks off with one of the toughest racing events in the world, as the Dakar Rally puts many of the world’s top off-road racers to the test over two weeks of competition through the Saudi Arabian desert. The event kicked off earlier today with a return to seaside action, as today’s Prologue stage from Sea Camp near Yanbu gave racers a 13-kilometer shakedown in preparation for one of the most grueling challenges in motorsport.
