If a competitor misses a stage or part of a stage, his or her "100%" gauge will remain unfilled and the participant will not score full points at the end of the rally: 1,000 km = 100 points.

Jan 17, 2025 · CHALLENGER | ERYK GOCZAŁ SECURES THREE-PEAT. Eryk Goczał, almost 2 minutes down on the leader at km 167, was not going down without a fight. The SSV reigning champion slowly but steadily erased his deficit to blast over the finish line with the fastest time, a minute ahead of his uncle Michał and 2′55″ clear of Mitch Guthrie.

As time goes by, what once felt new recedes into the rose-tinted mist of nostalgia. As a result, it is only natural for a new generation of "vintage" vehicles to burst onto the scene of the Dakar Classic four years after the launch of this regularity race.
