Twenty-one South Africans will line up among the 918 entries confirmed for the start of the Dakar 2022 in Jeddah on Saturday, most of them in the teams of Toyota Gazoo Racing and Century Racing.
Three of the four Toyota Gazoo Racing teams are “Saffers”, with Giniel de Villiers — who arrived in Saudi Arabia only on Thursday after a positive test scare — alongside navigator Dennis Murphy in car No.207.
Henk Lategan and Brett Cummings are in car No.225, with Lategan determined to avoid another head-over tail crash that he suffered last year.
