Dream team

Audi Sport has three illustrious driver teams for the Dakar Rally: Mattias Ekström/Emil Bergkvist, Stéphane Peterhansel/Edouard Boulanger and Carlos Sainz/Lucas Cruz. The tally from the 2022 Dakar Rally, the competition debut of the Audi RS Q e-tron¹ with the three driver teams, included four stage wins and 14 stage podium finishes. Another 14 stage podiums were added to the tally during the 2023 Dakar Rally, which saw good individual results with the Audi RS Q e-tron¹, but also setbacks for Team Audi Sport. For the 2024 Dakar Rally, Audi Sport is fielding its proven driver line-up for the third time.

“
At the Dakar Rally, teamwork and reliability are crucial. You need a well-bonded team, a super reliable car and reliable driver teams. You can’t permanently drive at the limit in the Dakar Rally. The right strategy is crucial. Our three strong teams proved their qualities from the beginning.
