Dakar 2026

Dakar 2026 will run over 14 days from 3 to 17 January 2026 on a set of stages strechting from Bisha to Shubaytah.

Dakar 2026 is the pinnacle of endurance motorsport, spanning thousands of kilometres across unforgiving terrains—towering dunes, rocky trails, and endless desert. It demands speed, strategy, and resilience, pushing crews to their physical and mental limits as they navigate unpredictable routes under gruelling conditions.

For the vehicles, Dakar is a brutal test of engineering. Every component must withstand extreme impacts, temperatures, and landscapes while performing flawlessly. A single failure can mean defeat. More than a race, it’s a proving ground for the toughest teams and machines.

Engineered with precision and driven by pure racing ambition, the Century Racing CR7 stands as a modern benchmark in rally-raid performance. Its powerful twin-turbo V6 engine delivers over 430 horsepower, offering the perfect blend of speed, torque, and long-distance reliability.

Built on a lightweight yet extremely strong tubular chassis, the CR7 features a refined 2WD layout, long-travel suspension, and a sequential gearbox designed for absolute control in demanding terrain. Every component is optimized for durability, efficiency, and race-winning capability.

Designed entirely around the driver, the cockpit provides excellent visibility, intuitive navigation placement, and a bold, aerodynamic exterior that reflects its purpose. Fully FIA T1-compliant and proven in top-level events such as the Dakar Rally, the CR7 is compact, fast, and uncompromising — a true rally-raid car built to push limits and conquer any stage.
