After finishing in third place overall in the 2012 Dakar rally the Imperial Toyota racing team will be looking to challenge for the win when the 2013 event kicks off in Peru’s capital city, Lima, on 5 January 2013.
Former Dakar winner Giniel De Villiers had the chance to give the Imperial Toyota Hilux one last run on local soil before heading for South America when the team was given special permission to take part in the South African Absa Off Road Championship Gold 400 early in December.
