This year’s Dakar covers a total distance of 8,549km, of which 4,706km is timed, off-road. That’s like driving from London to South Africa. In two weeks. But where most people would just put their destination in a Sat Nav and follow the guidance – that’s not allowed in the Dakar. In fact, they don’t even know where they’re going until a few minutes before each stage. So there’s no prep and the only way to get there is to follow a complicated road book full of squiggles and numbers. So how do Audi Sport’s drivers get from the shores of the Red Sea, across the width of Saudi Arabia, to the finish line in Dammam on the Persian Gulf? It's all down to the person sat next to them.
