Dakar 2026: Wenn Mechaniker zu Helden werden| Cristina Gutierrez nach dem Überschlag

Welcome to TimeOut Racing, your inside look at the 2026 Dakar Rally. We take you to the heart of the world's toughest rally: right into the bivouac, where top teams, mechanics, and drivers fight for their chance day after day. Our cameras are positioned exactly where television and mainstream media rarely go, showing you the Dakar as close and unfiltered as you would experience it only by being there in person.

In our daily videos, we follow the most spectacular vehicles of the year – from the futuristic Dacia Sandrider prototypes of Sébastien Loeb and Guerlain Chicherit to the mighty Ford Raptor T1+ of Carlos Sainz, and the tried-and-tested Toyota Hilux machines of Nasser Al-Attiyah and Yazeed Al-Rajhi. 2026 also puts Defender in the spotlight. The new Defender Dakar D7X-R program with Stéphane Peterhansel and Mika Metge, Rokas Baciuška and Oriol Vidal, as well as Sara Price and Sean Berriman, is generating worldwide interest – and we show you these vehicles from a perspective you almost never get to see: up close in the bivouac, right in the middle of the action, among tools, equipment, and race mechanics working late into the night. The truck class also receives a lot of attention from us. We're there when Martin Macík whips his MM-Technology truck across the dunes, when Janus van Kasteren competes as the defending champion, and when Mitchel van den Brink, one of the biggest talents in the field, sets the heavy sand ablaze. The fascination of these racing giants truly unfolds when you see what happens in the service area after the stage – and that's exactly where we'll be for you. On the motorcycles, we follow the top riders of the RallyGP and Rally2 scenes. These include Ricky Brabec and Adrien Van Beveren from Honda, Daniel Sanders from KTM, Ross Branch and Tobias Ebster from Hero MotoSports, as well as José Ignacio Cornejo and Lorenzo Santolino. We show you their morning starts, the exhaustion after tough stages, the technical work on their bikes, and the emotions that only the Dakar Rally can evoke. The 2026 edition is considered one of the most challenging in years. Over 8,000 kilometers through Saudi Arabia, new navigation requirements, more intense marathon stages, and a strong field in Ultimate, Stock, Trucks, and Motorcycles promise excitement from start to finish. We'll show you daily what's really happening – not the polished TV version, but the true Dakar reality with all its highs, lows, mistakes, successes, and heart-pounding moments.
