Lukas Lauda pays tribute to father in Dakar with retro McLaren F1 livery
Lukas Lauda will compete in the T3 class for lightweight vehicles in a Can-Am Maverick XRS Turbo entered by the South Racing Team. His car, the #347 Can-Maverick, has been painted in the same color scheme as his father’s McLaren MP4/2 as a tribute to Niki Lauda, who passed away in 2019. In addition to the car, Lukas Lauda has designed a special helmet with red and white colors reminiscent of the Marlboro advertising from his father’s time in Formula 1. Lukas Lauda, the eldest of Niki Lauda’s four children, had primarily worked as a sports manager but recently started cross-country rallying. His appearance at the Rally du Maroc in 2023 saw a promising 13th place finish and served as preparation for his first Dakar outing.
