2022 Rallye du Maroc entry list revealed

After a six-month wait, the World Rally-Raid Championship resumes on 1–6 October with the twenty-second edition of the Rallye du Maroc. As the penultimate round of the W2RC, many of the teams plan to use the race to test and refine their strategies for the 2023 Dakar Rally, while also vying for the title.

Sébastien Loeb and defending winner Nasser Al-Attiyah, fresh off racing Extreme E in Chile, enter separated by just one point in the T1 standings. Isidre Esteve will race a Toyota Hilux T1+ for the first time for Repsol Rally Team, while Guerlain Chicherit unveils his Prodrive Hunter and Martin Prokop has upgraded his Ford Raptor RS nicknamed “Shrek” courtesy of a new partnership with TechSoft Engineering. CERTT racer Jaume Collelldevall Naspleda will run his first W2RC race with the newly formed JJiM Rally Team.

Nani Roma had hoped to run the Rallye du Maroc as Loeb’s team-mate at Bahrain Raid Xtreme, but shelved those plans as he continues his bladder cancer recovery.

Amy Lerner, who spoke with The Checkered Flag in April, débuts in the T3 category alongside Dakar Classic co-driver Sara Boessert. While the Dakar Classic is a regularity rally unlike the speed-based format of W2RC events, Lerner has experience in the latter courtesy of events like the Mint 400, where she finished third in 2017.

Another newcomer in T3 is Pâmela Bozzano, who recently contested the Sertões International Rally. Molly Taylor will enter the T4 in a Can-Am for South Racing.

Audi Sport’s new RS Q e-tron E2 will make its competition début in the Open category with Stéphane Peterhansel, Carlos Sainz, and Mattias Ekström.

In the Bikes, among the major changes are Monster Energy Honda Rally Team, who has a new rider in Adrien van Beveren, and Thomas Kongshøj, set to become the first Dakar rider from Denmark in a decade, using Morocco for further tune-up.
