“I don’t participate for the sake of participating”

This story brings together in the desert a restaurateur and an healthcare worker. Stefano Sinibaldi and Simona Morosi met in the Dakar. They naturally clicked. And it only feels natural to them to jump aboard a Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution to face their first common participation after their previous experiences. Bringing to the Dakar his experience as a co-pilot in WRC, Stefano clinched his first finish in 2022, alongside Andrea Schiumarini. And now it’s his turn to sit behind the wheel. As for Simona, she embraced both the truck and the car experiences in her first participations in the world’s greatest rally.


S.S.: “I’ve done the Dakar three times, always as a navigator. This year, I wanted to have a different challenge. Last year, I won the Class N in the Campionato Italiano Rally Asfalto and I wanted to build on this new role as a pilot in the Dakar. I approach the Classic with a lot of respect but I hope it makes for a smoother challenge.
I like winning. I don’t participate for the sake of participating. I have a lot of respect for my opponents, there are stronger drivers than me, but I’m here to go strong and do the best possible.
I’ve done some of the most prestigious rallyes in the world, like Monte Carlo, but the Dakar is something apart. It’s a life experience. Every year, I say it’s the last time, because it’s so hard and then, on the way back, I’m already planning for the next participation.”


S.M.: “I couldn’t imagine I would already be doing my third Dakar. When I go back home after the race, I know I want to come back, but it’s not a given. As a navigator, I need to find a pilot who wants to do it with me and I need to organize myself professionally to be away for so much time. So I feel really fortunate doing my third Dakar in three years.
The Dakar is a race of excellence. It gives you incredible experiences and it becomes a part of you. My two participations, in 2022 and 2023, gave me very specific emotions. It was two different races, with different vehicles, different crews, different routes… Every year, there is something new and I can see it will be the case this year again. They always bring a new challenge. It’s a new start, you don’t know what to expect, and it gives me so many emotions.”
