Fernando Alonso interested in the Dakar?

The information should be taken with a grain of salt and we can bet that there is still a little way to go before it is confirmed. But according to our Spanish colleagues from AS, Fernando Alonso would have reported to Toyota, who uses it in the World ChampionshipEndurance, of his desire to compete in the next edition of the most famous rally-raid on a Hilux.

The Iberian daily even talks about a test in February with, as coach, the double winner of the event Nasser Al-Attiyah, who himself would have confirmed the thing. Not long ago, the recent winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans would also have gone buggy with the family Sainz – to whom he is close – and even tasted driving a car rally by taking the wheel of a Mitsubishi Group N with, as teacher, Carlos Sr.

The fact remains that there are still many unknowns, starting with the continuation or not of the Rally-Raid program carried out jointly by the Japanese manufacturer and Overdrive.
