Carlos Sainz Dominates Morocco Rally, Audi RS Q e-tron E2 Shines Ahead of Dakar 2023

Carlos Sainz and his co-driver Lucas Cruz are the winners of the Rally of Morocco with their new Audi RS Q e-tron E2. With this victory, they position themselves as the big favorites for the next Dakar Rally in 2023.

The Rally of Morocco is like a preparation race for the Dakar Rally next year. It is an opportunity for the official Audi, Toyota and BRX drivers to compete before the big event. Carlos Sainz was the fastest behind the wheel of the new Audi RS Q-etron E2. But he is not the official winner, since the three Audis that participated in the competition raced in the Open category, pending their compliance with the current regulations.

The second fastest, Guerlain Chicherit with his BRX Hunter T1+, is ultimately the official winner of the race. Then comes Mattias Ekström, third, who announced that he will also fight for victory in the Dakar Rally. In fourth position (second, in the official standings), we find Orly Terranova with the Toyota Hilux DKR T1+, followed by Nasser Al-Attiyah, the defending champion and fifth.
