Over 20 Czech crews taking part in 2024 Dakar Rally

Over twenty Czech crews are taking part in this year’s Dakar Rally, which gets underway on Sunday. Among the country’s hopefuls is Martin Prokop, who came sixth in the car category last year.

Also taking part will be Czech rally raid truck driver Aleš Loprais, who withdrew from last year’s race following an incident where a spectator died after being hit by his truck.

This year’s edition of the Dakar Rally is hosted for the fifth time by Saudi Arabia, with almost 800 participants competing on the approximately 8,000-kilometre route.
