ALI CURRIE TAKES ON THE REBELLE RALLY - PROLOGUE

The start of the Rebelle rally began with a 182km Prologue. The results of the short segment will produce the starting order for Stage 1. It would also be the teams first opportunity to shake down the vehicles and get any pre-rally jitters out of the way as it is an un-scored day and won’t hurt your overall rally.

DAKAR 2020 ADVENTURE | STAGE 10 - HARADH TO SHUBAYTAH

Today is the first half of the competitors Marathon stage. During the Marathon stage, teams will not be able to provide assistance to the drivers and vehicles. Once they leave the bivouac, they will be on their own until they return to the bivouac the following night. If they break anything, they will have to repair everything themselves with parts and tools they have put on their car or that a teammate carries. It’s all about endurance and being able to adapt to the problems that arise. This will be the second Marathon Stage for the bikes and quads as they had a Super Marathon Stage during Stages 2 and 3.

DAKAR 2020 ADVENTURE | STAGE 8 | WADI AL-DAWASIR LOOP

The second loop stage of the Rally was no where close to easy. With the bikes and quads Stage 8 cancelled the cars would lead the way today. It would be a day of drag racing as the course would have multiple long stretches one for 40km, 24 miles of foot to the floor and hold her straight. Because of the cars going first the organization bumped their start time up to when the bikes would’ve started. The first car left the bivouac at 6:00am sharp and made the 132 kilometer liaison to the start of the special. The special was 477 kilometer making for a long loop.

DAKAR 2020 ADVENTURE | REST DAY

Rest day marks the midway point on the rally. Teams will do a complete tear down of their vehicle minus the motor to basically have a brand new car for the second half. While the crew hammers away at rebuilding the car drivers are busy doing press and getting their suits and helmets prepped. Tomorrow the race continues with the longest special of the rally at 546km. So hopefully the racers got enough rest because it won’t be a walk in the park tomorrow.

DAKAR 2020 ADVENTURE | STAGE 5 | AL ULA TO HA'IL

It was a cold morning today as the crews loaded up for the next town. Casey had a windshield added for a little extra comfort on the 80km liaison. They would have assistance vehicles right at the start of the special where they’d remove the windshield and do any last minute checks before starting the stage.
