World Rally Championship star Sebastien Ogier has ruled out taking part in the Dakar Rally in the future, saying he has “never been really attracted” by the prospect of competing in the cross-country event. Ogier stepped down from WRC as a full-timer at the end of the 2021 season but continues to compete in a number of rallies every year, driving the additional third/fourth car entered by Toyota.
Ogier even tested the Toyota GR010 HYBRID on two occasions and was being considered for a potential Hypercar debut at Le Mans in a third car, but an additional entry from the Japanese manufacturer never materialised. Ogier made it clear that a return to sportscar racing is not on the cards at the moment as he continues to focus on a part-time rally programme but also admitted that a trip to Le Mans last weekend for the 24-hour enduro “gave me the wish to come back” in the future.
