The OT3 Machine, by Overdrive Racing
Overdrive Racing has revealed more details of an exciting new rally machine, “OT3 by Overdrive,” which is set to take the Dakar Side x Side class to the next level.
The OT3 by Overdrive is a six-speed, 1000cc turbo vehicle that outputs around 177 horsepower following FIA regulations and is the first Side x Side high-performance prototype of its kind, specifically designed for off-road racing in the world.
It has carbon-fiber/Kevlar bodywork and a six-speed gearbox. The extended wheelbase of the vehicle also allows for greater stability, moving the center of gravity of the car backward to increase performance and balance. Here’s more about the OT3 from Red Bull:
The competitive debut for the new machine will be announced shortly.
The 2020 Dakar Rally is scheduled to start on January 5 and will run in Saudi Arabia. The deal for Saudi Arabia to host the Dakar is possibly for five years, although that does not exclude other countries from joining the route in that time.

ABOUT Dakar®
The adventure began back in 1977, when Thierry Sabine got lost on his motorbike in the Libyan desert during the Abidjan-Nice Rally. Saved from the sands in extremis, he returned to France still in thrall to this landscape and promising himself he would share his fascination with as many people as possible. Since then, the Dakar, a unique event sparked by the spirit of adventure, open to all riders and carrying a message of friendship between all men, has never failed to challenge, surprise and excite.
