The 2027 Dakar Rally will be moved from Saudi Arabia "following recent developments in the region", organisers said on Sunday, after repeated attacks on the kingdom by Yemen's Houthis.
"Dakar 2027 will go ahead. The 2027 edition will take place in a different territory and will be organised by A.S.O," which runs the Dakar along with Saudi Motorsport Company (SMC), read a statement. A new location will be announced in the coming days.
