Yazeed Al Rajhi (Toyota) impressively won the fourth stage of the Dakar Rally after Nasser Al-Attiyah (Dacia) ran into trouble.
Toyota had a dominant day in the Dakar Rally while Dacia faced setbacks, especially after Sebastien Loeb’s crash. Without assistance from mechanics in the marathon fourth stage, reaching the finish line without issues was crucial for all participants. Unfortunately, Dacia’s Nasser Al-Attiyah encountered problems, dropping him down the rankings. Top spots went to Toyota drivers Yazeed Al Rajhi, Henk Lategan, and Juan Cruz Yacopini. Lategan now leads by almost seven minutes over Al Rajhi, with Mattias Ekstrom in third for Ford. This shift in standings puts Toyota in a favorable position.
