Spanish newspapers such as *Marca* and *Soy Motor* were the first to report this week that two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso will be making another attempt at the Dakar Rally in 2027, which is due to take place in Saudi Arabia from 1 to 15 January next year.
The 45-year-old from Asturias competed in the 2020 Dakar in a Toyota Hilux, achieving a second-place finish as his best stage result, but had to carry out numerous repairs along the way and also suffered a rollover. As a result, he finished in 13th place overall.
According to reports in Spain, Alonso now intends to compete again in January 2027, driving a modified Dacia Sandriders vehicle (Nasser Al-Attiyah’s 2026 winning car) and once again with Marc Coma as co-driver alongside Fernando.
Recommendations
Allegedly, Alonso’s car is to be built at Prodrive in England from this coming November, with the Dacia technology featuring a bodywork design reminiscent of an Aston Martin.
