The GR DKR Hilux EVO T1U will be driven by five crews at the rally which include two new rookie drivers. This will be the biggest team Toyota Gazoo Racing has ever fielded at the Dakar Rally. The new vehicle is wider. The air conditioning unit was moved, and the Hilux was outfitted with a new cooling package for redundancy.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-8410 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Toyota-Gazoo-24-Hilux_Seth-Quintero-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone wp-image-8411 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Toyota-Gazoo-24-Hilux_Giniel-De-Villiers-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone wp-image-8412 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Toyota-Gazoo-24-Hilux_Lucas-Moraes-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/>\r\n\r\nDrivers for the team include Giniel de Villiers who brings years of extensive rally experience. Giniel won the rally in 2009 and has fifteen top five finishes. Lucas Moraes and Seth Quintero also join the team. Moraes entered a privately-owned Toyota Hilux in 2023 and spent most of the rally running in second. Moraes ultimately finished third overall.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8414\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Toyota-Gazoo-24-Hilux_Dunes-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nSeth Quintero and co-driver Dennis Zenz will compete in a TGR Hilux. Quintero has previously competed at the Rally in the SSV class. Other drivers on the team include eighteen-year-old Saood Variawa and Guy Botterill. This will be Botterill\u2019s first Dakar Rally.","excerpt":"<p>Toyota Gazoo Racing will race in the Dakar Rally with an updated truck.

Quintero won the overall T3 win for the Red Bull Junior Team.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5702\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SethQuinteroRallyeDuMaroc_OT3-Dunes-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nQuintero fought a hard battle, finding himself 10 minutes behind race leader Chaleco Lopez at the halfway point. In the three final stages of the rally, Quintero hammered down doubling his time and putting a 10-minute lead on Lopez I the final stage.\r\n\r\n\u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever driven so cautious and scared in my life. Previously I\u2019ve always been in the position to fight for a lead at a rally, rather than having to manage a lead. But the stage was beautiful today, I was just kind of bummed out that I couldn\u2019t drive as fast as I wanted to because I was so nervous. It\u2019s great to be at the finish line and call ourselves the overall winner. We came into this thinking that we were going to be out of the championship and now we\u2019re pretty close. We\u2019ll fight for second, and first isn\u2019t too far ahead. We\u2019ll keep fighting until the end and you never know, maybe we win again in Andalucia and win the championship. It would be a miracle, but anything\u2019s possible! This race has taught me that you can never say die. I was nine minutes down on day three and then we put some time down on the last two days. The whole Red Bull Off-Road Junior Team has put in so much hard work to be here and I\u2019m glad that it finally paid off,\" said Quintero.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5703\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SethQuinteroRallyeDuMaroc_SideProfile-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nAll four of the Red Bull OT3 race vehicles placed in the top six.
