The 2023 Dakar Rally was a rally raid event held in Saudi Arabia and the 45th edition of the Dakar Rally organized by Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO). The event takes place between 31 December 2022 and 15 January 2023. This is the fourth time Saudi Arabia has hosted the event. For the second year running, the event is also the first round of the 2023 World Rally-Raid Championship.

The outline of the race route was presented on 5 June 2022. The route was started at a "Sea Camp" near Yanbu, on the Red Sea shore, and finished in Dammam, at the Persian Gulf shore. The route returned to the Empty Quarter this year with three stages, including the marathon stage. The route featured 70% new tracks, less liaison, and 5,000 kilometres of special stages. The route, details of which were revealed in November, has been described as longer, more difficult and with more dunes.^[1]

Changes[edit]

Some changes were announced for this year's event:^[2]

• Digital roadbooks for all participants, including the bikes
• Time bonuses for bikes opening the stage
• "Mirror routes" - in order to separate the routes some stages will be split into "A and B routes", which feature different waypoints, assigned randomly
• No neutralizations for T1 and T2 categories - the stage will not have breaks in the middle
• Stage start procedure - the first truck to leave will be from 45th place. No reclassification for top 40 drivers
• Dakar Classic will follow dedicated route with 13 stages, including 2 marathon. New average speed group for less powerful vehicles
• Introduction of "synthetic and bio fuels", with expectation that elite drivers will compete in low emission prototypes by 2026

Entry list[edit]

On 10 November 2022 ASO announced the list of competitors.^[3][4][5]

In the truck category, the Kamaz and MAZ factory teams - two of the most dominant teams in the category - elected not to enter the 2023 Dakar Rally due to complaints that the FIA would force them to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine to enter. The two teams are based in Russia and Belarus, respectively.^[6]
