More than 550 competitors across seven classes will race across 5,000+ miles of varying terrain, including desert, canyons, dunes and mountains throughout Saudi Arabia. This will mark the fourth consecutive time that the country has hosted the race. The Dakar Rally is 43 years old, beginning in 1979.

American Ricky Brabec, who followed his historic Bike class victory in 2020 with a second-place finish in 2021, headlines the field of competitors. Other top U.S. riders feature Skyler Howes, who had back-to-back top-10 finishes in the Bike class in 2020 and 2021, and rookie sensation Mason Klein. In the T3 class, 20-year-old Seth Quintero, who set the record for stage wins in 2022, and 2022 T4 champion Austin Jones are also expected to compete for the Americans.

On the international side, two-time and defending champion Sam Sunderland (Great Britain), two-time champion Toby Price (Australia), 2021 champion Kevin Benavides (Argentina), and 2018 champion Matthias Walkner (Austria) lead a competitive field.

CNBC will present three hour-long encore presentations throughout the event (Sat., Jan. 7 at noon ET, Sun., Jan. 8 at 11 a.m. ET, and Sun., Jan. 15 at noon ET) that will be streamed on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.
