‘‘The Dream of competing in the Dakar Rally is finally happening! My Road to Dakar is officially started by racing Rallye Du Maroc as it’s the closest race to Dakar to be as prepared as possible to learn all we can our first rally ever in the World Rally Raid Championship. We, of course want to do well and get the results but more than anything use this seat time to get familiar with all we can before the Big one! – Price said.
