Red-Lined Adventure Nissan Navaras take on Dakar

 Dakar, one of the most challenging off-road #rally events in the world, wrapped its tenth and final stage on January 17. During the grueling 12-day #event in Peru, three FIA Dakar specification T1 #nissan #navara trucks – built by Nissan's South Africa-based marketing partner Red-Lined Adventures – competed.

The three Red-Lined entries included German father-and-son duo Jurgen and Daniel Schröeder who competed under the PS Laser #racing banner (No. 329). Jurgen brought plenty of knowledge and experience to the table, as this year marked his ninth Dakar.

From Dubai, Thomas Edward Bell, team owner, and Patrick McMurren, Bell's friend and navigator, competed under the Sabertooth Motoring Adventure banner (No. 419). Although this was their first Dakar, they came well prepared with a season's training in the South African Cross-Country Series under their belts.

From South Africa, businessmen Shameer Variawa and Zaheer Bodhanya competed under the Shameer Variawa #racing (SVR) banner (No. 429). This was their first Dakar. Although they are an experienced cross-country team, they had limited experience with desert terrain prior to this year's race. The video below shows Red-Lined support crew assembling the SVR team's #navara at a #nissan dealer in Peru ahead of the race:
