“Only a few people in the world have the opportunity to do this“
18th on his Dakar debut as a co-driver for Ben de Groot last year, a ‘surprised’ Ad Hofmans has been thrust into driving duties for 2023 following ill-health for a team-mate. Hofman will count on his past motorcycle experience in the Morocco Desert Challenge, plus day job as a truck driver, as he faces the challenge ahead.
A.H.: “I was expecting to be the navigator again, but I'm very excited to drive. It’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid but only a few people in the world have the opportunity to do it. The biggest challenge will be the dunes, but I’ll also need to concentrate to avoid making a mistake in the faster tracks. I’m not sure what will be possible, but my mindset is very much that it’s a race, I’m not there to be on tour!”
