The Astara Team, a competition team created to make Dakar history, has been presented in Madrid with the aim of demonstrating that it is possible to offer the most efficient, intelligent and sustainable mobility solution possible for anyone and on any terrain. At the Dakar, this translates into creating a formula capable of winning sustainably, using the least amount of resources and generating the lowest carbon footprint in the history of the race.After an in-depth analysis of the technical options available and the requirements of the Dakar, the team has opted for the best possible solution: to compete with a light vehicle powered by synthetic fuel or e-fuel. This ecological fuel is produced from water and CO2 from the air, and is carbon neutral, since the CO2 it emits during its combustion is the same that has been extracted from the atmosphere during the production process. In addition, it does not emit solid waste or microparticles.The couples Jesús Calleja-Edu Blanco and Óscar Fuertes-Diego Vallejo, with a lot of experience in the Dakar, will participate at the wheel of both 01 Concept. Framing in the T1.3 category (two-wheel-drive buggy), it is a very fast and efficient car to tackle a test like the Dakar, in which high doses of power and great autonomy are required for long and demanding stages.
After the success achieved in the Dakar 2018, in which Óscar Fuertes and Diego Vallejo achieved second place among the debutants, and 30th overall, SsangYong has presented in Madrid its most powerful argument to face the second consecutive participation in the rally more hard and demanding world: the Rexton DKR, with which Óscar Fuertes and Diego de Vallejo will have the goal of reaching the goal again.Ten years after the first edition held in South America, this 2019 Dakar will be played from January 6 to 17, 2019 exclusively by Peruvian lands, with a loop that will start and end in Lima. Throughout the ten foreseen stages, the participants will have to cover a total of about 5,000 kilometers, of which 70% will pass through sand and dunes, including 3,000 km. of timed sections and, being a loop, only 2,000 kms. of links that will not be exempt from difficulties and challenges.SsangYong, a SUV and 4x4 specialist since 1954 and the oldest car manufacturer in Korea, has a new car that has been completely developed by SsangYong Motorsport in Spain for this challenge: the new Rexton DKR, which elegantly fuses the buggy concept with the Muscular design features of the flagship of the Korean firm worldwide. The aim for the 2019 edition was to reinforce the reliability of the car in the elements subject to greater fatigue during this year's Dakar, and build a more reliable, faster and lighter car.
