SA duo Basson, Pienaar rake in coveted 'Rookie Award' at Dakar's conclusion
Eben Basson and Leander Pienaar completed their first Dakar Rally, crossing the finish line in seventh place overall in the T3 Lightweight Prototype category for the G Rally team. Having never driven their OT3 race car before, the 2023 Dakar was the first time they'd get behind its steering wheel, but immediately felt at home like a fish in water.
