Vendetta Racing heads back to Saudi for the Dakar Rally 2022

Vendetta Racing are currently in the mids of in-depth planning for the 2022 Dakar Rally.  

The Dakar Rally is the ultimate event for any off-road rider, it also represents the biggest challenge of Vendetta’s 12 - year history, and we can’t wait.

Route 2022.jpeg

The Dakar is heading south. The two latest editions, which were focused on a tour of the Saudi deserts, demonstrated the diversity of the country’s landscapes, going from canyons and cliffs in the Neom region to stretches of dunes surrounding Riyadh, passing by the Red Sea coastline which sparkled with infinite shades of blue. To seek out challenges worthy of those who let nothing stop them in their tracks, the 2022 route will venture into the Empty Quarter, which is as sandy as it is mysterious.  Surrounded by vast stretches of sand and dunes, the experts in the saddle or behind the wheel will be able to take advantage of the landscape, provided that they put their navigation skills to good use.

The Riders

Two riders are already confirmed for our Dakar 2022 challenge.  Keep a lookout for updates on this page as more riders are confirmed.
