Mason Klein busca regresar al Rally Dakar como piloto privado

El piloto de motociclismo estadounidense Mason Klein está recaudando fondos para competir en el Rally Dakar 2027 como piloto privado. Su objetivo es cubrir las tarifas de inscripción, combustible, neumáticos y otros gastos a través de una campaña de GoFundMe que casi ha alcanzado la mitad de su meta de 6.000 dólares.

Klein ha competido en el Rally Dakar en Arabia Saudita en varias ocasiones con resultados mixtos. Como debutante en 2022, terminó noveno en la clasificación general con un asiento de piloto privado financiado en el equipo BAS World. Al año siguiente ganó una etapa y lideró brevemente el rally antes de que una lesión lo obligara a retirarse, y posteriormente obtuvo el puesto 14 en la clasificación general en 2026 con Hoto Factory Racing después de que sus intentos anteriores terminaran en fallas mecánicas.
