- A seasoned (co-)pilot with more than 200 rallyes under his belt, including 15 participations in the Dakar, Sébastien Delaunay is a staple in the desert that he also roams as a race organiser and roadbook designer.
- His Dakar feats along the likes of Nicolas Duclos, Yasir Seaidan and Bernhard ten Brinke got him to the final podium, finishing 2nd of his category on multiple occasions.
- Delaunay put his experience and wisdom at the service of Buggyra ZM Racing and Aliyyah Koloc for the last two years now, helping the young lady to finish the last two editions of the Dakar. After another season of competing with different drivers and travelling the world, he returns alongside Dania Akeel for this 2026 Dakar after already competing with her in past W2RC seasons.
