CREW FACTS

S.P.

  • Prior to her hugely impressive 2024 Dakar debut, Sara Price was relatively unknown in the world of rally raid, but back in the States she’s been a very big deal for a long time. She started riding dirt bikes at the age of 8 winning 19 amateur titles and medalling at the 2010 X-Games.
  • As the most decorated female amateur in motocross she became the first fully supported female factory MX racer with Monster Energy Kawasaki winning a medal at the X Games.
  • In 2012, she transitioned to UTV racing, claiming the Women’s Championship in the Terracross, undefeated in every round of the Series and campaigning multiple disciplines as a driver and also leading laps in the Stadium SUPER Truck Series - the first woman to do so.
  • In 2019, Sara made history IronWomaning the infamous Baja 1000 and becoming the first woman to win the SCORE International Trophy Truck Spec Championship. She joined Chip Ganassi Racing’s Extreme-E team in 2021, adding another major win to her resume.
  • In 2023, she dominated in her Can-Am with victories at the Mint400, California 300, Baja 500 and the Sonora Rally winning the Road to Dakar, and the Triple Crown Championship.
  • As warm up for the Dakar she entered the 2023 Rallye du Maroc in October and won her first ever special on stage 2 and backed that up with another stage win the very next day!
  • It meant that expectations were high for her first Dakar and Sara didn’t disappoint, winning a T4 stage the same day when her partner in life Ricky Brabec was also the fastest on two wheels, the Rookies Award and finishing at the foot of the podium.

S.B.

  • This year Price will be co-driven by Sean Berriman. A man who started his navigation career literally by accident, when he was a mechanic in an assistance truck. With the truck’s navigator being heli-vacted out of the Dakar with a back injury in the middle of a stage, Sean had to learn the black art of navigation on the job. And obviously he was a fast learner, as he went onto win the T4 class in 2020 alongside Casey Currie!

2025 AMBITIONS

S.P.: Last year was a dream come true - we seriously over-achieved! So, I’m really excited to be going back, knowing that we can be competitive, especially now we have full factory support from Can-Am. You always have to stay humble where the Dakar is concerned but we’re clearly aiming for a podium and I’d love a win. Last year we had a sure-fire place on the podium and then two days from the end there was a possibility of taking the victory. I’m a competitor to the bone and so I took the risk and went for it. Unfortunately, it was a rocky stage and we broke the car, losing a load of time in the process, to finally finish fourth. At least we came away with a stage win and it was on the same day as Ricky (her partner Ricky Brabec) won a stage, so that was really special. As well as the being part of the factory team, the big change for me this year will be having Sean (Berriman) in the ‘passenger’ seat. Jeremy (Gray) stepped in as his replacement last year when Sean discovered he was having a baby and did a great job, especially for a Dakar rookie, but you can never have enough experience on the Dakar and Sean has proven he knows how to win this race.”

S.B.: “Sara went really well last year, so obviously we’ll be looking at a podium for 2025 and maybe more if everything comes together. I do think however that the T4 class is going to be much more competitive this time around, so that’s going to make things a bit more complicated. We weren’t able to race the Rallye du Maroc together but we’ll be doing the Dubai Baja in our Dakar race car, so that will be a good warm up. In addition we live close by and so have been able to train together in the desert. All in all I think our preparation is in line with our ambitions.”

This morning, the Empty Quarter was full of dense mist, preventing the helicopters from taking off and ensuring the race’s safety.
