release their 2023 contender, the FW 45.

The car looks even faster than last year and it’s nice to see a more complete livery compared to last year’s FW 44.

Williams look strong this year having successfully head hunted James Vowles from .

Pair that with brand new partnerships with & Duracell, add a strong driver pairing in Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant and you have a recipe for success.

Williams look poised to take themselves out of last place in the constructors championship this season. Watch them closely this year.. 👀

It’s day 7 of the 2023 and this is possibly the best one of the last decade. 🤯 Competitors had to deal with some flash flooding in the deserts of Saudi Arabia and the attrition rate for all vehicles is staggeringly high this year.

Motorbike favorites and (2022 winner) have already crashed out and picked up some nasty injuries.

The truck category is also a treat to watch without the usual dominance of who refused to sign the driver commitment document from the FIA condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In the cars, and were doing really well in the 2nd gen Audi RS Q e-tron until both had similar accidents on the same dune. Sebastian Loeb is also not having a good run at it, picking up countless punctures and light crashes. Another category to watch is the Dakar Classic. There’s an old Porsche ripping through the dunes! Need we say more?

Lastly, the South African competitors are in the mix! 🇿🇦

(2nd overall), Giniel De Villiers (4th overall) and Brian Baragwanath (9th overall) making us proud!

We also have a few riders on the bikes and a female rider in sitting in 79th overall.

Stay tuned for more updates on the incredible Dakar Rally 2023.

It’s a very sad day indeed. Still in complete shock.

Legend, motorsport icon and drift king Ken Block has passed away at the age of 55. 😥

Ken Block gave us so many iconic Hoonigan cars and his Gymkhana series was absolutely insane! Whether it was on asphalt, dirt, snow, ice or the craziest jumps you’ve ever seen, Ken entertained us in a new way and showed us things previously thought to be impossible. A true visionary of the sport, he’ll be sorely missed. 😔

Condolences to the Block family.
