The Sandrider will make its competitive debut at the Rallye du Maroc event in Morocco this October
The new rally raider has been tested by Sebastien Loeb, Nasser Al-Attiyah, and Cristina Gutierrez. Power comes courtesy of a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with 355 hp. Dacia will take the Sandrider to Morocco later this month for a week of testing. Dacia will compete in next year’s Dakar Rally with the wild-looking Sandrider and recently conducted a series of tests for the racer in Wales and in France.
Between May 6 and 9, Gutierrez and Loeb tested the Sandrider for two days at the Sweet Lamb testing complex in Wales before the team headed to Château de Lastours in France for four days of additional testing with all three drivers. The Dacia team is now readying the Sandrider for a rigorous test schedule in Morocco from June 28 to July 6. It will be tested on similar terrain to what it’ll experience during the Dakar Rally running from January 3-17 next year.
