PATRONAGE
To reduce your registration fees to the Dakar, we also set up a patronage system between experienced pilots and pilots participating for the first time.Your patronage request must be made before 20th of October 2025
The system is the following:
A competitor having participated in at least one Dakar, as a driver/rider, can chose to take under his patronage 1 competitor (in the same category) taking part for the first time on the Dakar (co-driver participations are not taken into account). The rookie can be under the patronage of only one experience driver. Depending on the category in which they participate in the Dakar, they benefit from a discount:
- of €1500 :
- €500 for the experienced driver (on the price of their entry in the Bike category)
- €1000 for the rookie (on the price of their entry in the Bike category)
- of €5000 :
- €2000 for the experienced driver (on the price of their entry in the Car/ T3 / SSV category)
- €3000 for the rookie (on the price of their entry in the Car/ T3 / SSV category)
- of €6000 :
- €3000 for the experienced driver (on the price of their entry in the Truck category)
- €3000 for the rookie (on the price of their entry in the Truck category)
This system is only based on the competitors. To benefit from this system, the two competitors must enter and participate on the Dakar in the same year. The discount will be exercised on the deadline of the final payment, 20th of October 2025.
