Team De Rooy demonstrates solid performance at Dakar 2024 with Goodyear tires and TPMS

There was no win for Team De Rooy, equipped with Goodyear Offroad tyres and the tyre supplier’s TPMS, after 14 demanding days across Saudi Arabia in the Dakar 2024 Rally, but the team celebrated a solid performance, showing resilience, skill, and determination. All three Team De Rooy trucks completed all the stages of the challenging course, assisted by the Goodyear Offroad tyres’ traction and durability on challenging terrains. The integration of Goodyear TPMS played an important role in monitoring tyre pressure and temperature in real time, allowing the team to make dynamic adjustments and respond swiftly to evolving road conditions.

The 2024 Dakar Rally proved to be a formidable challenge, spanning from AlUla to Yanbu, covering 5,000 kilometers of diverse landscapes. Team De Rooy faced steep inclines, treacherous descents, and new sections, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of both the drivers and the vehicles.

The #600 Boss Machinery Team De Rooy FPT, led by Pilot Janus van Kasteren Jr., Navigator Marcel Snijders, and Mechanic Darek Rodewald, secured 4th place. The team particularly stood out by winning the prologue stage and securing victories in three other stages.

Additionally, the #622 Becx Competition Team De Rooy FPT, piloted by Michiel Becx, with Navigator Edwin Kuijpers and Mechanic Wuf van Ginkel, took 5th place in the final rankings.

The #618 Ladies Team De Rooy FPT, driven by Anja van Loon, alongside Navigator Floor Maten and Mechanic Marije van Ettekoven, made history as the first Dutch women’s team in the Dakar Rally, securing 12th position in the overall standings.
