“The 2025 Dakar Rally represents TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s commitment to excellence and innovation. With Repsol joining us as a key partner, we are taking significant strides towards a sustainable future. Our team this year is a blend of youth and experience, which we believe is essential for tackling the challenges of Dakar. The GR DKR Hilux Evo has been meticulously refined, and I’m confident that we are fielding one of the strongest line-ups in this year’s event.”
Lucas Moraes:
“I’m incredibly excited to take on the Dakar Rally once again, especially as part of such a strong team. The GR DKR Hilux Evo is an incredible machine, and with the latest improvements, I feel confident we have everything we need to compete at the highest level. It’s an honor to represent Toyota and to work with partners like Repsol as we drive towards a more sustainable future in motorsport.”
Seth Quintero:
“Being part of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing for the 2025 Dakar is a dream come true. Every year, I learn and grow more as a driver, and the Dakar is the ultimate test. With Repsol onboard as a sponsor, it’s exciting to know that we’re contributing to something bigger than just racing – we’re pioneering renewable technologies and proving what’s possible with sustainable energy in motorsport.”
