ROUND 1 / JANUARY 3-17, 2026
YANBU, SAUDI ARABIA
OFF-ROAD I FIM WORLD RALLY-RAID CHAMPIONSHIP
P72
The two warriors,
Ricky Brabec
(right) and Luciano
Benavides (left),
congratulate each
other after 49 hours
of on-the-stops
racing. At this stage,
neither knew who
won the rally.
The 2026 Dakar
Rally will go down
as the closest
ever fought—in
any category—as
Luciano Benavides
took an incredible
come-from-
behind victory.
