GCK Motorsport will be joining the world-renowned Dakar Rally in 2021 at its NEOM stage to showcase its latest cross-country project, the GCK e-Blast 1.
The GCK e-Blast 1 represents GCK Motorsport’s first step in promoting the future of cross-country rally: it will run environmentally friendly, fully electric technology for long distance rallying with a view to integrate a GCK hydrogen solution as the programme develops. Drawing on the parallels of the technological evolution between both, the electric project will provide the foundation for GCK’s hydrogen future.
