Mason Klein berupaya kembali ke Reli Dakar sebagai pembalap independen

Pembalap motor asal Amerika Serikat, Mason Klein, tengah menggalang dana untuk berkompetisi di Reli Dakar 2027 sebagai pembalap independen (privateer). Ia menargetkan untuk menutupi biaya pendaftaran, bahan bakar, ban, dan pengeluaran lainnya melalui kampanye GoFundMe yang kini telah mencapai hampir separuh dari target dana sebesar 6.000 dolar AS.

Klein telah beberapa kali berkompetisi dalam Reli Dakar di Arab Saudi dengan hasil yang beragam. Sebagai pembalap debutan pada tahun 2022, ia finis di posisi kesembilan secara keseluruhan dengan kursi privateer berbayar bersama tim BAS World. Tahun berikutnya, ia sempat memenangkan satu etape dan memimpin reli untuk sementara waktu sebelum cedera memaksanya mundur, dan kemudian ia menempati posisi ke-14 secara keseluruhan pada tahun 2026 bersama Hoto Factory Racing setelah upaya-upaya sebelumnya berakhir dengan kendala mekanis.
