The Briton, who fell in love with the Dakar during his discovery with PH-Sport in T3 in 2021, should have replaced Giniel de Villiers after a false positive test for Covid-19 at Toyota one year later. Absent from the radars in 2023, the former Citroën and Toyota driver WRC will be at the start again on January 5, 2024 in Saudi Arabia. His navigator will be the Dutchman Wouter Rosegaar.
The G Rally Team is entering the OT3s developed by Overdrive in 2021. In 2023, the Belgian team played the leading roles in the T3 ranking thanks to Guillaume de Mévius and François Cazalet. Long in the lead ahead of the Can-Am armada Red Bull factory, the independent structure finished on the podium following mechanical problems.
