Next up in our crew presentation: @fabianlurquin of course! 🚀 Fabian began his Dakar journey some 20 years ago as a navigator aboard a T4 assistance truck. Over time, he gained extensive knowledge and experience. His major breakthrough came when they won Africa Race in 2018 before going on to secure a Dakar stage victory in 2020. Later, partnering with Sébastien Loeb, he achieved three Rally Dakar podium finishes: second in 2022 and 2023, and third in 2024. Having joined The Dacia Sandriders alongside Loeb, the Belgian is aiming for his first Dakar victory. 👊🏻 Fabian’s favorites * Favorite thing in the world: Spending time with his wife 💖 * Favorite outdoor activity: Trekking 🏞️ * Favorite music: « Counting Crows » and « Alanis Morissette » 🎶 * Favorite color: Blue * Favorite food: Steak and 🍟🇧🇪 #TheDaciaSandriders #OurCrews #RoadToRallyDakar

Buckle up for a wild ride in the dunes with the Sandrider! 🤘🏻 You can guess the crew but can you guess the stage (Rallye du Maroc)? 🤔 #TheDaciaSandriders #OnBoard #Action #RallyeduMaroc

Not long to go before the start of @dakarrally but we’ve got just enough time to introduce the Dacia Sandriders crews. Of course you know them, but do you know everything? 😇 We’re kicking things off with @sebloebofficiel the legend himself. The benchmark in the FIA World Rally Championship with nine overall titles, Seb is now a force in rally-raid. He led on his Dakar debut in 2016, finished runner-up one year later – and again in 2022 and 2023. Seb has tackled everything from Formula one to Rallycross and his Pikes Peak Hill Climb record, set in 2013, stood for five years! The Frenchman secured another podium finish at last year’s Dakar Rally, so it’s clear the goal for 2025 is nothing less than victory! Seb’s favorites 🥰 * Favorite thing in the world: Trying new things and breaking routines * Favorite outdoor activity: Enduro biking with friends 🏍️ * Favorite music: A bit of everything 🎶 * Favorite color: Khaki * Favorite food: A perfectly cooked “Côte de bœuf” (s’il vous plaît!) Stay tuned as we introduce the rest of the Sandriders crew. Who’s next? #TheDaciaSandriders #RoadToDakar #Dakar2025 #OurCrews
