Interview

“I’m looking forward to be in the Empty Quarter”

Andre Thewessen is a landscapes lover. He first explored the desert as a photographer, as he was on the Dakar in 2016 with his camera. He then sponsored truck driver Ton van Genugten, but he had to wait until 2022 to realise his dream: to be on the biggest rally-raid as a participant. He managed to finish it, with a correct 37th place. Since then, he has multiplied his experiences when his professional life allows him to do it -he runs an air conditioning installation company. For this second participation, the Dutchman is banking on the experience of Dmitry Tsyro, co-driver for the seventh time and winner of several Bajas in his career..


A.T.: “The Dakar allows us to be alone in the middle of the desert, and it's just amazing. I’m really looking forward to the Empty Quarter. Our goal will be to drive our car to the finish line. Dmitry is experienced, we’ve recently trained together in the UAE and I hope to have a better result with him. Of course, I would like to do better than in 2022, but I don’t want to say anything because this is Dakar, and when you expect too much, then it can end badly.”
