• Tougher than the world’s toughest motor race for the third year in a row - Yokohama Tire would like to send a massive congratulations to Oscar Fuertes, Diego Vallejo and the SsangYong Motorsports team for not only finishing the Dakar Rally for the third time, but for finishing 24th overall in their 2020 efforts.

  • The Empty Quarter: an excruciating 840 mile loop through the largest part of the Saudi Desert, from Haradh to Shubaytan and back again… all with no assistance allowed. “In a marathon stage, you can’t receive assistance between one day and the next, and you can just count on the resources you have on board or in a truck that races along with you. We decided to carry a third spare wheel when we usually carry only two. In addition, we carried a fourth wheel in the truck. Although our Yokohama tyres have delivered great performance and we haven’t had any puncture, we preferred to play it safe,” said driver Oscar Fuertes about he and co-driver Diego Vallejo’s strategy for powering through the particularly trying stage of the 2020 Dakar Rally. #yokohamatire #onyokohamas / #GEOLANDAR #G003 / #Dakar2020 / #SsangYongDakar #KorandoDKR

  • Stage 9; the longest stage of the Dakar Rally and the perfect playground for the GEOLANDAR M/T G003. Oscar Fuertes and Diego Vallejo put truck and tire to the test, mashing through savage rocks, difficult tracks and a grip of extremely rugged terrains before opening up to speeds of over 100mph through the sand and dunes that made up the second half of the day’s stretch. Currently in Haradh, the duo are finalizing last minute adjustments in preparation for tomorrow’s stage 10 which allows no assistance. #yokohamatire #onyokohamas / #GEOLANDAR #G003 / #Dakar2020 / #SsangYongDakar #KorandoDKR

  • “The truth is we’re exhausted… you feel tiredness building up from the previous days,” said driver Oscar Fuertes. After 23 hours, 47 minutes and 39 seconds of brutal driving over 5 days of battling the unrelenting Saudi Desert, fatigue is taking a toll. However, as in years before, the team won’t be letting up and will push through to remain competitive, stage after stage, as they prove themselves tougher than the savage landscape. #yokohamatire #onyokohamas / #GEOLANDAR #G003 / #Dakar2020 / #SsangYongDakar #KorandoDKR
