The competitors will be thrown in at the deep end, with super-fast tracks from the get-go. However, the pace will come down, as is only natural, once the race hits sandy ground.

It will be a well-deserved success for those who manage to reach this hallowed site of Saudi rally-raids in decent(-ish) shape.
