Toby Price and Sam Sunderland will compete in the 2025 Dakar Rally, but this time they are leaving two wheels behind to take on the challenge in a car – as a duo.
Yes, you read that right. The riders who have been racing in the iconic rally on motorcycles up to this year’s edition have decided to join forces in a Toyota Hilux T1+ from Overdrive Racing for 2025.
This will be the first four-wheel experience for both riders. Price has already driven a car in competitions in Australia and the United States, while Sunderland will make his debut as a co-driver.
It’s not uncommon for motorcycle riders in rally-raid and off-road events to switch to cars later in their careers. Hubert Auriol, Stéphane Peterhansel, and Nani Roma, who all won the Dakar in both categories, are prime examples of this transition.
