Dakar Classic 2026

The Dakar Classic is much more than a race: it is an adventure in the desert that recaptures part of the spirit of the early Dakars, but with a focus on regularity and navigation. Starting and finishing at different points in Saudi Arabia, the route traverses dunes, fast tracks, and spectacular landscapes over two intense weeks.

It features classic vehicles (cars and trucks) that competed in historic editions of the Dakar, and passionate teams that combine experience, endurance, and strategy. Here, it is not the one who drives the fastest that wins, but rather the one who can better maintain regularity over extreme terrains. Additionally, those who can follow the road book off tracks and with heading indications also have an advantage.

To take on such a challenge with guarantees, you can rely on Time Out Racing, with whom we have a collaboration agreement. They offer assistance, logistics, and support services during the race so that you can focus on driving and navigating. Having an experienced team behind you is a significant advantage in such a demanding event as the Dakar.

Therefore, having a reliable team like Blunik Raid can make a difference: it allows you to accurately follow the stages and control deviations in real-time, especially useful in such a challenging environment as the desert. If you want to prepare well, a Master Class with exclusive content from the Dakar Classic will provide you with the tools to understand the event and compete with confidence.

The Dakar Classic is a unique experience for both drivers and co-drivers. If you have a classic vehicle and a desire for adventure, now is the time to take the leap and experience the Dakar from within.
