Whether you’re just starting to get interested in the Dakar Rally, or you’ve been a fan for ages, organizers of the 2024 Dakar Rally have announced the route and details.
2024 marks the 46th year of the Dakar Rally, and the fifth year in which Saudi Arabia will host what is arguably the biggest event on the rally calendar. The event kicks off on January 5, 2024 in Al Ula, and will run approximately 7,891 kilometers (or 4,903-ish miles) before the finale in Yanbu on January 19, 2024.
A total of 354 vehicles are currently signed up to participate in the 2024 Dakar, across all categories. A total of 137 motorcycles are running this year, as well as 10 quads. In four-wheeled categories, there will be 72 Ultimate cars, 42 Challenger cars, 36 side-by-side vehicles (SSVs), and 46 trucks. The Mission 1000 challenge will be run concurrently, for nine pre-selected vehicles including the HySE Dakar vehicle co-developed by Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Toyota.
The 2024 Dakar will consist of one Prologue, 12 stages, and 14 days of racing. Approximately 5,000 kilometers (just under 3,107 miles) of the rally will be Special Stages, will consist of approximately 60 percent new sections.
New Empty Quarter 48-Hour Stage in 2024
Additionally, there will be a new 48-hour stage, set up like a marathon stage. Taking place in the Empty Quarter, competitors will be allowed to assist each other in the evenings. Matters will be complicated, however, because at 4 p.m., competitors will be required to stop for the night at the first bivouac they reach. Once there, only other competitors who have stopped at the same bivvy for the night will be available for assistance, and there won’t be any way to communicate or know who’s going to which of the nine bivouacs until they’ve arrived.
Two separate tracks will be set up for this stage, with one for the motorcycles and quads and a separate one for the cars and trucks. That way, say organizers, the cars and trucks won’t be able to see tracks left by the bikes and quads, and will thus have more of a challenge. Motorcycle stage openers will still be awarded bonus points.

Are you excited about the 2024 Dakar Rally? Be sure to follow along with RideApart as we’ll keep you updated during and after the event.
We are starting a long-term test of the Audi E-tron GT 2023, and I am genuinely interested in this electric GT car and excited to see how our time together will unfold. I am eager to begin this journey and am not starting with any cynicism or ambivalence.
One positive aspect is that this Audi has already proven to be excellent company. It’s not without flaws – it is quite wide, and the parking sensors are overly sensitive – but it glides through the world like a mechanical panther. It is quiet, sleek, smooth, and incredibly fast with its 472lb ft of torque.
The various aspects of the car, such as the cockpit, steering, and overall aesthetics, are more impressive than Audi’s current offerings in other models. The E-tron GT doesn’t try too hard to impress, unlike the RS7, which makes it easy to warm up to. Even in the bright Tango Red color, which isn’t my preferred choice, the car’s rakish silhouette manages to make it work.
So what exactly is this car? We will delve deeper into its Taycan-shared platform later, but it presents itself as a four-door fastback capable of reaching 152mph while remaining low to the ground. It has air springs (standard on the Vorsprung trim) and a motor on each axle, with the rear motor utilizing a two-speed gearbox. The battery, with a capacity of 93.4kWh, is located under the floor. The whole car weighs 2347kg, which is quite heavy, but it is managed effectively.
With a price tag of £113k, the Audi E-tron GT is undeniably expensive. However, when you consider that BMW is asking £85k for an M3 Comp and a 911 Carrera S costs £110k, it becomes a bit more reasonable. Furthermore, when you take into account that £113k is the price for the fully-equipped Vorsprung model with features like a B&O hi-fi system, head-up display, rear-steering, matrix headlights, Pro sports seats, and acoustic glazing, it seems like a justifiable investment. The base E-tron GT, priced at £85k, offers good value for a cutting-edge and sleek vehicle.
I am quite fond of the Audi E-tron GT. However, I can’t help but wonder how it would perform with a 450bhp inline-five engine longitudinally placed in its sloping nose. My logical side says yes to the idea, and my heart agrees, although not with the same conviction as my head. While it may be heavy and require frequent recharging, there is no denying that this car is authentic. In terms of what it represents and its execution, the E-tron GT is the most thrilling Audi since the rear-wheel-drive R8. Converting it to run on gasoline would undoubtedly diminish its authenticity, though it would likely improve some aspects.
If you’re looking for a more cost-effective way to measure power consumption, and you’re only interested in certain appliances, a smart plug could be for you. The Wyze Plug can be bought in a pair for $20, and anything you plug into that socket can be measured. This works for things like your TV, Xbox, microwave, etc. The downside is you’re not going to be measuring your entire house’s energy consumption, but that’s what the other options are for.
The Wyze Plug comes with some cool features, too. If you’re on vacation somewhere, you can actually set your plug to a “vacation” mode that will randomly turn your stuff on and off to make it look like somebody is at home using it. It responds to both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, so your heavy hitters are covered. You can put all of the plugs into the Wyze app and it works exactly the same as the other apps mentioned before.
The main difference here is you won’t have a main hub installed into your breaker box. Eventually, the cost of plugs will overcome the initial cost of having an energy monitor installed, so don’t go overboard.
