Harith Noah to contest seventh Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia

India’s top rally-raid rider Harith Noah is all set to make his seventh appearance at the Dakar Rally, widely regarded as the world’s toughest motorsport event, which begins on Saturday.

The 32-year-old from Kerala will once again represent India as the Dakar Rally returns to Saudi Arabia for the sixth consecutive year. The 48th edition of the rally is scheduled from January 3 to 17, covering some of the most challenging desert terrains in the world.

The event kicks off with a short prologue in Yanbu on January 3 to determine the starting order for the main stages. This will be followed by two intense weeks of racing before the rally concludes back at the Red Sea on January 17.

Noah, a consistent performer in previous editions, aims to improve on his past results and continue putting India on the global rally-raid map.
