The Fernando that Hall is referring to is none other than two-time Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso, who will be a part of the Toyota Gazoo Racing SA outfit when the Dakar commences on January 5 in Saudi Arabia. Alonso is partnered with fellow Spaniard Marc Coma in the SA-built Toyota Hilux GR as part of an all-star line-up of four works crews consisting of three-time Dakar winner Nasser al-Attiyah and navigator Mathieu Baumel; SA’s Giniel de Villiers and navigator Alex Haro; and Bernhard Ten Brinke and navigator Tom Colsoul.
We are assured of gripping action from the first to the last gear, with dramatic scenes and furious racing expected every time Toyota’s headline racers square off with opposition in the Dakar’s other heroic world class drivers such as Carlos Sainz Snr, who makes another Dakar return at the age of 57.
