Due to the current situation in the Middle East, we won’t be able to take part in the upcoming @OfficialW2RC round.

Wishing everyone heading to Portugal for @rallyraidpt the best of luck. Have a great race — I’ll be cheering you on. May the strongest win!

Winning the FIA World Baja Cup is about teamwork throughout the entire season.
This title belongs to the technical team, the coach and as much as to us.

@dakar We couldn’t simply pass it by…

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

@jalonsowrc It’s more complicated than pure sport :)

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

Dakar ended as a real adventure. P10 early on, then we backed off. When we saw David Zille’s wrecked Taurus, we stopped — towed, fixed, towed again, and got it to the finish. That’s the Dakar spirit! Two weeks, ~8,000 km as ‘fast assistance’ for BBR — team result achieved 🏁

Dakar Rally. Saudi Arabian Sands Issued Their Verdict

Dakar done! It was an epic finish to the most challenging marathon rally-raid on the planet!

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

Stage 12 done!
Today packed everything from the past 2 weeks into one: dunes, sharp rocks, fast straights, canyons — full-on rally conditions. Incredible day! Saudi Arabia is stunning 🌵🏜️. Now just keeping an eye on Pau Navarro and hoping for team success — victory is close! 🏁

🚀 Stage 11 went smoothly: no incidents, no time lost, no stops to help others. We kept a steady pace on fast tracks, preserving the car after tough marathon days. 💪 Vehicle reached the bivouac intact — less work for mechanics, more focus for the final stages

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

Stage 10: Endurance day!
At 162 km our rear differential failed — in soft sand, the car could get stuck. Kevin Rouvier helped replace it, and we carefully finished the stage in the dark. Tough day with multiple issues, but we made it to the bivouac safe and sound! 💪

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

Reached the refuge. After refuel, Akeel hit a tree — car was damaged. We helped. Trucks overtook us; we drove in dust. Long track with no directions, got lost, circled, then found the road using rivers and mountains. Pace dropped, but supporting crews means working hands.

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

Stage 8: confident and steady. 4th fastest at first PK, +26s from leader. Careful through dunes, a few overtakes. Small off-track moment at 259 km in a close battle, quickly corrected. Finished 13th! Good day 💪🏼

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

Stage 7: Stability and control
Aleksei and I stayed near the top Challengers, mastering the sand. The stage went smoothly — no stops, cars perfect, pace steady. Finished 12th, feeling confident and in control for the stages ahead

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

@131OffRoad This is so interesting! The current generation of drivers-competitors in my native country probably isn't even aware of this story

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

Stage 6: real, big dunes! Incredible stage and huge emotions.
We were running near the Challenger top 10, but lost 2 tyres and had to slow down. Lesson learned.
The team delivered a strong result, everyone finished safely. Halfway through Dakar-rest day now, then a new week ahead

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

🏜 Five stages down. We completed both parts of the marathon stage despite clutch and turbo issues. An early stop at km 66 and nearly 1.5 hours of DIY repairs meant today was all about survival, not pace.
The key result? We made it to the finish, that’s what matters most.

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

Marathon stage recap: steady, competitive pace and two stops to help teammates on the selective section.
No mechanics, no support trucks — just a desert refuge, tents, tools, and our own hands. Repairs under the stars, then a careful run to Hail to hand the car back to the crew.

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

Stage 3 started flat out — pace, sand, overtakes. But very quickly our race turned into team support mode. Field repairs, shared parts, wheels, fixing turbo pipes, shocks and driveshafts. Finished in the dark — but everyone made it to the bivouac. That’s Dakar.

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

🔥 Stage 2 at #Dakar hit hard.
No turbo from ~100 km, rescue attempts, desert repair, rocky tracks, dust & night driving.

We’re at the finish. Car intact. Team result matters. Only Day 2.

[Sergei Remennik - rally driver @RRemennik]

Stage 1 done!
305 km around Yanbu: rocks, narrow sections and sand. Tough and nonstop.

Helped teammates, pushed through dust, finished 22nd.
Tomorrow: Yanbu → Al-Ula, 504 km.
