Sainz forced out of Dakar Rally due to damaged car

Carlos Sainz Sr will take no further part in the 2025 edition of Dakar Rally after sustaining heavy damage to his Ford Raptor during the 48-hour Stage 2.

Sainz’s car rolled over and landed on its roof after a dune jump 327km into Sunday’s test near Bisha in Saudi Arabia. Although the Spaniard was able to return to the bivouac and finish the stage on Monday, the FIA conducted checks on his car later in the evening to determine whether he can take part in the remainder of the event.
