Marc Coma, five-time Dakar Rally winner in the motorbike class and six-time FIM Cross-Country Rallies World Champion, has teamed up with Fernando Alonso as his navigator at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing as the pair continues with an intensive rally raid training programme in the Toyota Hilux.
An experienced rally raid campaigner, Marc, 42, first competed in the Dakar Rally in 2002 when the event was still held in Africa. With nearly two decades in the sport, most recently as Sporting Director of the Dakar Rally, Marc is perfectly positioned to work closely with Fernando, two-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner, reigning FIA World Endurance Championship title holder, two-time Formula 1 World Champion, and winner of the 24 Hours of Daytona, as both motorsport veterans push their own limits and transition into a new motorsport discipline—Fernando in rally raid and Marc on four wheels.
