2025 AMBITIONS
E.G: “My last Dakar in the SSV category ended with a 12th-place finish. This year, I competed in the entire W2RC season in the SSV class and secured 6th place overall. Next year, I hope for a bit more luck to improve my final ranking in the championship. I expect the competition to be very tough, as many strong drivers are returning to the SSV category. This will make the championship even more exciting and motivating on a sporting level, pushing me to achieve better results. As for the Dakar, I have no doubt that it remains the ultimate ‘queen’ of all races. I believe this year’s edition in Saudi Arabia will be the hardest yet, both technically and physically.”
F.M: “My Dakar 2024 went well, with a stage win and a good pace. Unfortunately, a mechanical problem took us out of the fight. In 2024, I competed in the entire W2RC season and finished second in the SSV codriver Championship. For Dakar 2025, my goal is to support Enrico and the team to achieve a strong performance in the rally.”
