Stage 13 COMPLETE
The departure from the Empty Quarter will be decisive on more than one count. On the one hand, it is the final opportunity to surf on its oceans of dunes; on the other hand, the last big stage could also provide a launch pad for an ambitious competitor fighting for the podium —or his honor— to move one or two places up the standings.
The short special limits the potential for damage, but physical and mechanical endurance can yet make a difference. Category: Bikes - Quads - Cars - Light Prototypes - SSV - Trucks - Classics Stage 13: Liaison: 520 km / 323.11 miles Stage: 154 km / 95.69 miles

Momentos del Equipo DAKAR 2023 Courtesia Safari Club
Stage 12 will put the focus on the tactical acumen of the drivers, riders and crews in the 2023 Dakar Rally. Who will manage to tread the fine line between not pushing their vehicle too hard and not losing too much time to more aggressive rivals?
The answer will come in Shaybah following yet another DUNE-FEST in the second half of the marathon stage. Depending on the time differences in each category, the balance of power will almost be set in stone by now.

The first part of the marathon stage is basically a love letter to rally raids. The counter will hit 4,000 k's of specials right after the start, taking the race well into extreme endurance territory. The route designers unsurprisingly marked the occasion with a gruelling stage of sand.
Keeping the vehicles in one piece will be crucial, as there will be no assistance trucks or mechanics to lend the competitors a hand at the bivouac. Category: Bikes - Quads - Cars - Light Prototypes - SSV - Trucks - Classics Stage 11: Liaison: 153 km / 95.07 miles Stage: 273 km / 169.63 miles

The selective section has been kept deliberately short in this stage, the Dakar's first foray deep into the Empty Quarter.
This appetizer offers a taste of a local delicacy, namely, sand. A long liaison will take up most of the day. Category: Bikes - Quads - Cars - Light Prototypes - SSV - Trucks - Classics Stage 10: Liaison: 510 km / 316.90 miles Stage: 114 km / 70.83 miles
