- When in 2012, Augusto Sanz went with his father on the side of Ruta 9 just next to Buenos Aires to welcome and cheer the Dakar competitors that were finishing their adventure, little did he now that just over a decade later, he would be in the cockpit of an SSV racing the Dakar.
- Well before that, Augusto was a bike specialist competing in the Argentinean championship at the young age of 18. He slowly shifted towards a co-driver’s role still on home soil winning the navigator’s title. And then came a call from Portugal’s Ricardo Porem. The volunteer firefighter in Exaltación de la Cruz, just outside Buenos Aires was first tested out on smaller rallies before taking on the Dakar in 2023.
- Alongside Ricardo Porem, Sanz reached the finish line on both of his appearances capturing a fine 8th spot in 2024. For his last Dakar the Argentinean was asked to join the Nasser Racing team and competed alongisde Ahmed Fahad Al Kuwari with whom he finished 36th.
- For his fourth Dakar, Sanz, who is also an excellent mechanic will again have a new partner but adapting shouldn’t be a problem. He will indeed be alongside Puck Klaasen with whom he first competed in 2024 and again last October at the Rallye du Maroc.
