  • The Spaniard will compete in his 12th Dakar Rally, having competed in five on a motorbike, five in cars, and one in an SSV, alongside drivers of the calibre of Nani Roma, Gerard Farrès, and Orly Terranova. His best result came with Farrès: second place in the SSV category in 2019.
  • He began his career in 2003 in trial, in which he was successively Spanish Champion, European Champion, and World Champion. In 2013, he ventured into rallying, participating in the Baja Aragón and other events in the Spanish rally raid championship. After competing in several events, including the Merzouga Rally and the Pan-Africa Rally in 2017, with good results, in 2019, he finished 2nd in the Baja Portalegre, navigating for Nani Roma, and 8th in Abu Dhabi alongside Cyril Despres.
  • In 2022, his passion for motorsport led him to compete in several rounds of the Catalan Rally Championship, and at the end of that year, Juan Cruz Yacopini invited him to join him in W2RC.
  • 2023 was an excellent year for the duo, taking third place in the world championship in the Ultimate category with Overdrive's Toyota Hilux.
  • After the 2024 W2RC season, in which they failed to achieve good results due to some misfortunes, 2025 paid off with seventh place in the Dakar and the Ultimate category title in the FIA Cross-Country Bajas World Cup.
  • However, 2026 did not start as planned due to an injury that ruled Juan-Cruz out of the Dakar. Then Dani was called up by Carlos Sainz, with whom he made his debut in the second round of the 2026 championship.
