Total Distance: Approximately 5,600 km (competitive stages ~3,000 km)
With 70% of the route made up of dunes and off-piste sections, the 2019 Dakar tested endurance and navigation like never before. The compressed 10-stage format left almost no recovery time, forcing crews to balance speed and mechanical preservation.
Highlights included:
Navigators faced blinding sunlight reflecting off sand and unpredictable wind patterns shifting dune shapes overnight.
Al-Attiyah’s masterclass in dune driving gave Toyota their first overall Dakar victory.
The 2019 Dakar in Peru was a triumph of navigation, mechanical resilience, and driver discipline.
