The French carmaker will be submitting the 2008 DKR for the Dakar rally in 2015. The car will be driven by Dakar legends Carlos Sainz and Cyril Despres. CEO Maxime Picat had this to say about the announcement:
"Our intention is to have everything in place for next year’s Dakar, even though our strategy is based on a longer term than was the case for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, since we will be involved for several years. We are perfectly aware that the Dakar is a very difficult event but our aim is nonetheless to win at first attempt in 2015."
