Off-road racer Sara Price made history at the final round of the World Rally-Raid Championship in Morocco with a second-place finish overall in the competitive T4 class .

Following two consecutive stage wins , Price became the first-ever American woman to earn a stage win in the FIA World Rally- Raid Championship . After completing over 2240 kilometers , only 11 cars finished the race out of the 19 entered in the T4 category .

Price stayed consistent for the first five days with top-five finishes but encountered a radius rod failure during the final stage , costing her team over 20 minutes . Price had to finish the stage on a crooked rear end and claimed an 8th place final stage finish , still sacrificing enough time to take home 2nd overall in class .

“ We came here to get some experience before the Dakar Rally and ended up in second place overall in T4 ! I ’ m beyond grateful to be here and hope to continue this success leading into Dakar ,” Price comments .

She teamed up with navigator Jeremy

Gray , whom she had success with at the Sonora Rally earlier this year , claiming the win and earning the “ Road to Dakar ” challenge . The team spent a weekend training at Jimmy Lewis ’ s Rally School following their Sonora win . Gray ’ s first time navigating on the World Rally-Raid stage caught the attention of many veterans as it was his first time navigating at this level .

“ Rallye Du Maroc ! Wow , what a race ! To finish in second place in SSV T4 feels amazing . With the knowledge gained from Morocco , we are determined to sharpen our skills and come out even stronger for the Dakar Rally ,” Gray says .

The six-day event provided excellent training for the upcoming Dakar Rally this January . The team says it will regroup and prepare for the hardest off-road challenge of their career .

Price will document her journey to the Dakar Rally through her social channels and website , SaraPriceMX . com .
