After providing rapid assistance for Sodicars, SMG, the Besson Group and Easy Rally, Ahmed Benbekhti is working this year on behalf of the Rebellion team. His mission ? Support Romain Dumas who is taking the start of this second Dakar in Saudi Arabia with a DDX RD Limited Buggy. Ahmed Benbekhti, who will share the cabin of his six-wheeled Man TGA with Bruno Seillet and Mickaël Fauvel, is a regular in rally-raids and more particularly the Dakar. With more than twenty participations on the clock, this competition vehicle preparer is delighted with this new journey to Saudi Arabia. In fact, last year he found with pleasure landscapes that did not fail to remind him of his first African epics. Passionate about motorsports, the Algerian still appreciates the solidarity and mutual help that are woven between the competitors in the most difficult moments of the race. Even if he also fears the lack of taxiing due to the Covid-19 epidemic, Ahmed is impatient to be able to pace again the sand and the stones of the Saudi tracks.

“Once again, we will be there to lend our support regardless of our position. Dumas is a great driver and I will be very happy to help him. It's our job and a mission that I really appreciate. Saudi Arabia was a nice surprise last year. It reminded me of Africa with sand, pebbles, rough tracks… The older I get, the more my passion for rally-raid grows. Even if the adventure is not the same, it is always a great pleasure to find yourself in these grandiose landscapes that only the desert can offer. This year we weren't able to run like we used to in the past. We only did the Andalusia rally, and the long break was difficult for everyone. We had a lot of gambling, it will do us good to find the action. "
