CANDIDATE SELECTION PRINCIPLES

So as to ensure the best possible course conditions, a limited number of competitors are invited to participate in the Dakar. A.S.O. therefore sets the number of competitors in each category (Car, Bike, Quad, Truck and Assistance Vehicles) which seems appropriate to the characteristics of the rally.

Consequently, A.S.O. reserves the right to refuse any candidature in accordance with its own selection criteria,
based on the following principles:
• The candidate’s respectability and moral standards;
• The candidate’s merit and sporting results, as well as his or her record within the context
   of the previous competitions;
• The candidate’s representativeness.

It is specified that the enumeration of these main criteria is not restrictive, and that A.S.O. reserves the right to also
take into account other criteria which it considers should be included, in accordance with the sporting and economic
imperatives to which the Dakar responds.

CONDITIONS OF ADMISSION MOTORCYCLE / QUAD

Are admissible on invitation, and are considered as a rider, all persons, of whatever nationality, over 18 years of age, holding an international FIM Off-Road Rally Licence.

ASO has the right to refuse any enrolment of a competitor who cannot prove a minimum of recent experience in motorcycling in competition, or who does not have the physical ability to race a Dakar.

The pilots must then have participated in an event belonging to the FIM World Championship and/or in any other event registered on the FIM calendar or on their national calendar.
