Although all events are currently cancelled or postponed due to the Corona pandemic, it has been decided not to cancel Dakar 2021. It will take place.
However, the rally will be shorter than last year. A good 4,750 classified kilometers are planned, although there will be less fast sections overall. The 2021 route will focus more on technology and navigation skills. However, the change in the Dakar Rally’s centre of gravity is not due to the pandemic. This decision was already announced in March. The reason was the two fatal accidents during the last Dakar.
However, there will also be some changes to protect against COVID:
“The preparation and especially the education had to be done according to a schedule that is adapted to the travel restrictions of 2020. The rally will take place under unusual conditions, which are recorded in a protocol that is designed to ensure maximum protection against the spread of the Covid 19 virus,” the press release states.
The Dakar will take place from 03.01. to 15.01.2021.
