Just over seven months after Ford Racing’s Dakar Rally debuted in the Raptor T1+ and its podium finish, the Ford M-Sport team lifts the cover on the newly developed Ford Raptor T1+. The development of a rally-raid vehicle is painstakingly detail oriented; evolving the design, technology, ability, and durability needed to match the grueling Dakar Rally. The drivers and co-drivers, Carlos Sainz, Mattias Ekström, Nani Roma, and Mitch Guthrie, join the team alongside engineers and mechanics on production of parts and vehicle rebuilds throughout their testing season to prepare for what lies ahead.
We dive behind the scenes with the technical team and drivers, revealing technical and design processes, as well as the mental and physical demands required to develop the Raptor to a version worthy of succeeding in the one of the world’s toughest off-road races.
Join us as we tackle obstacles, enhance performance, test humans and machine in the UK, Spain, and Morocco, and take the final steps in preparation towards the Dakar 2026.
