From WRC to Dakar

After failing to finish his first Dakar last year in Peru, Aleksander Dorossinskij returns for a second go with his usual co-driver Oleg Uperenko but in a brand new structure. After being part of former Dakar winner on a quad, Sergei Kariakin’s SNAG Racing team, the 46-year-old will again be in a standard CanAm SSV but within his own Sports Racing Technologies structure. Dorossinskij was a regular rally specialist who competed in several legs of the WRC championships from 2004 to 2007 in places such as Finland, Sweden, New Zealand, Mexico or Argentina. The driver from Saint Petersburg has now started a new career. This year he competed in several Baja races and the Morocco rally capturing third place. A fine way to prepare for the Dakar he now hopes to at least finish.
