Joining the race for the first time in 2013 will be the Qatar Red Bull Rally Team, a completely new team that features some familiar faces.

While 2013 represents a Dakar debut for the Qatar Red Bull Rally Team, they've recruited a pair of former Dakar Rally champions to drive their two completely new and specially designed desert buggies and it's clear that they mean business.

2011 Dakar Rally champion Nasser Al-Attiyah and 2010 Dakar Rally champion Carlos Sainz will be the men behind the wheel for the Qatar Red Bull Rally Team in January 2013.
