Over the past two decades, Qatari driver Nasser Al-Attiyah has become one of the most well-known and beloved personalities in the world of racing. He will be making his 20th appearance at the Dakar Rally next year. Al-Attiyah has already achieved three victories at the Dakar, in 2011, 2015, and 2019, while driving for Toyota Gazoo Racing. He hopes to clinch his third consecutive victory and make history by winning with the Prodrive Hunter, which would make it the fourth different car that he has driven to victory at the rally. Al-Attiyah’s trusted co-driver, Mathieu Baumel, has been instrumental in their success, and together they have won the FIA World Rally-Raid Championship driver and co-driver titles in 2022 and 2023. The Prodrive Hunter, known for its ability to traverse various terrains at high speeds, is powered by Prodrive EcoPower, a sustainable fuel that reduces carbon emissions by 80 percent. Al-Attiyah will be joined by his new teammate, Sébastien Loeb, at the 2024 Dakar, and he acknowledges Loeb’s exceptional skill and hopes that one of them can bring home the victory.
