FC
- Working as a farmer, François Cazalet had to change his lifestyle when he was contacted by the Variawa family to become Saood’s co-driver on a long-term basis and teach him the skills, techniques and secrets of cross-country rallying.
- The Frenchman who started on the Dakar back in 2022 with USA’s Blade Hildebrand has specialized in mentoring young drivers. Part of the Red Bull Off-road Junior team, he then went on to compete with Cristina Gutierrez (3rd in 2022) and Gregoire de Mévius (3rd in 2023).
- After his experiences in SSVs, he moved up to the Ultimate Class last year with Variawa and reached the finish of the Dakar in a very promising 17th position.
- The 39-year-old from Pau who is a fomer biker and has a passion for cycling, continues his journey with young Saood and after starting the season in W2RC and competing in the entire South African championship will hope to better their performance on the Dakar.
