Ranking 2026
All news of M. Goczal
High-ranking privateers
Works teams have dominated the 2026 Dakar, but several privateers have also made an impact and will try to do so again today. Marek Goczał, thirteenth overall, is the top-ranked privateer. He drives a Toyota from Energylandia, as do his son Eryk (17th overall and winner of a stage) and his brother Michal (eighteenth). Also worth a mention are Simon Vitse and his...
Happy families for the Goczals
Eryk Goczal (5th to finish, 3'55’’ off the lead) and his father Marek (6th, 5'03’’ behind) have again shone today, finishing in the upper positions and as leading privateers at the wheels of Energylandia team Toyotas. When taking stock of this edition of the Dakar, they will be able to look back proudly on young Eryk’s first victory in the Ultimate...
Schareina has the makings of a champion
Strategy is a real factor in rally raids. The fear of getting stuck in a yo-yo dynamic is one of the things that keep elite riders awake at night, especially when the time comes to go all in for the title. Tosha Schareina, however, made a show of panache yesterday and today to claim back-to-back victories. Dakar riders who can win from the front of the field are few and far between....
Three Goczałs in the top 6
No, you are not experiencing double or triple vision. There are three Goczałs in the top 6 of the stage! Marek came in third, his best performance since moving up to the Ultimate class ahead of this event, and was the top-ranked privateer in his Energylandia Rally Team car. His son, the wunderkind and 2023 SSV Dakar winner Eryk Goczał, was right behind him in fourth...
Car stage top 10
All the cars contesting the top positions on the special have now finished. The top 3 remains as announced earlier, with Henk Lategan taking the win ahead of Nasser Al Attiyah (+7′03″) and Marek Goczał in third (+14′15″). The Polish wunderkind Eryk Goczał finished just outside the podium in fourth (+17′36″), narrowly ahead of...
Henk Lategan scores double whammy with stage win and overall lead
The win goes to Henk Lategan, who has been utterly dominant in stage 4 around AlUla. The Toyota Gazoo Racing W2RC driver has taken victory ahead of the Dacia factory driver Nasser Al Attiyah (+7′03″) and the Pole Marek Goczał (+14′15″), the top-ranked privateer. The top 10 will be clearer once more drivers have crossed the line, but one thing...
Al Attiyah claws 1'50" back from Lategan
Henk Lategan's dominance in the cars continues at km 338, but his lead over Nasser Al Attiyah has dropped from 8′28″ at km 304 to 6′38″. The Qatari thus closes to 3′30″ behind the South African in the virtual standings. Marek Goczał is pulling off one of the big moves of the day, placing his Toyota Hilux just 11′44″ behind the...
Goczals at the business end of the race
Racing in Toyotas under their own Energylandia team colours, the Goczałs have been performing strongly since the start of Dakar. At km 162, Marek is third overall and the fastest privateer, behind Henk Lategan and Nasser Al Attiyah. His brother Michał is also in the top 10, in eighth, while young Eryk sits a little further back in nineteenth.
