After five tough Dakar stages, the Eurol participants enjoy a well-deserved rest day. Both teams experienced successes and setbacks.
This flying start marked the beginning of a long-term partnership between Eurol and TOYOTA. On a technical level, we complement each other perfectly. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing benefits from our expertise in lubricants, while we benefit from the opportunity to develop products in the highest class of motorsport. This collaboration enables us to develop better and more efficient lubricants, benefiting every Eurol user.
In 2020, the most challenging rally in the world was relocated from Peru to Saudi Arabia. That year, two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso joined TOYOTA's prestigious Dakar team. Both in 2020 and 2021, Nasser Al-Attiyah finished second in the overall standings. In 2021, the Dakar Rally was once again held in Saudi Arabia, after being previously relocated from South America.
For the 2022 Dakar Rally, the TOYOTA Hilux received a significant upgrade to be better equipped for the rugged Saudi landscape. The "TOYOTA Hilux T1+" received larger tires, a new chassis, and an extended suspension travel. These changes proved to be very successful, as Nasser Al-Attiyah and Mathieu Baumel claimed victory in 2022. They also secured the first place in the 2023 Dakar Rally, a remarkable achievement. Al-Attiyah achieved his fifth Dakar victory, and it was the third victory for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, in collaboration with Eurol as a lubricants partner.
Starting from 2024, Eurol is a technical partner of the South African segment of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing team.

Glyn Hall, Team Manager TOYOTA GAZOO Racing factory team: "Eurol is an important partner for us. During the Dakar Rally, we used various Eurol Specialty Racing products. We did not see any significant wear, despite this being an extremely tough Dakar. That's really good news!"
