Ultimate challenge: Car #500 finishes 1st in “THE 48H CHRONO STAGE” in the Stock (Production Car) category while Car #501 continues to compete
From January 11 to 12, the Dakar Rally 2024 proceeded with a new undertaking called “THE 48H CHRONO STAGE” near Shubaytah in southeastern Saudi Arabia. Running over two days with a 547 km SS (competition section) set in the Rub' al Khali Desert known as the "Empty Quarter", most of the road surface is soft sand. The stage includes a series of complex sand dunes that must be crossed, a serious task for a production car - this was literally the ultimate challenge of the rally.
