All four TOYOTA GAZOO Racing crews completed the seventh stage of the 2020 Dakar Rally which saw crews take on a gruelling 546-kilometre special stage across varied terrain littered with sand dunes from Riyadh to Wadi Al Dawasir. Nasser Al-Attiyah and navigator Mathieu Baumel again set the fastest time for the team just 2min 12sec behind the stage winners, maintaining their second place in the overall rankings with a gap of ten minutes. While the stage started with small dunes, the crew’s initial charge was hamstrung by the fast tracks which favoured their two-wheel-drive competitors.

Stage 10 of the 2020 Dakar Rally proved to be one of drama for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing with two crews losing valuable time. Dakar title defenders, Nasser Al-Attiyah and navigator Mathieu Baumel suffered with mid-stage navigation, losing 17min 46sec. Fernando Alonso and navigator Marc Coma rolled their Toyota Hilux shortly after starting the 680-kilometre stage when crossing a steep sand dune. The crew emerged unscathed but the car sustained a broken windscreen and bent suspension components.
