BREAKING NEWS: Ex-Formula 1 champion Alonso to drive Dakar Rally 2020
Hi, Steemers!
I already wrote about Alonso testing Toyota Hilux rally car prepared for Dakar Rally and the rallies from the Dakar series.
Today I found out that things go even further and that Fernando Alonso will driver Dakar Rally 2020. That's a great news for the sport of rallying.
They are currently testing in Namibia and that should be a great opportunity for Alonso to familiarize with that super strong endurance car and the experience in this type of rallies is crucial.
What to expect from Alonso's first Dakar?
I would say nothing spectacular. He should be very pleased if he even gets to the finish line but I doubt that.
For Dakar you need an experience from rallying and he doesn't have it at all, only a few tests.
He should drive some cross-country rallies before the Dakar just to see what it is the endurance driving.
Great stuff for sure.

Greetings appreciated @ssekulji.
The only way to have experience in Dakar is to run in Dakar.
This is something Alonso has never done and of course there is no way to do similar practices or tests. So a very arduous task awaits you.
As you say, hopefully at least complete the tour.
All best, Piotr.
thanks :)
