Mason Klein busca retorno ao Rally Dakar como competidor independente

O motociclista americano Mason Klein está arrecadando fundos para competir no Rally Dakar de 2027 como competidor independente. Ele pretende cobrir as taxas de inscrição, combustível, pneus e outras despesas por meio de uma campanha no GoFundMe, que já alcançou quase metade de sua meta de US$ 6.000.

Klein competiu no Rally Dakar na Arábia Saudita diversas vezes com resultados variados. Como estreante em 2022, ele terminou em nono lugar na classificação geral em uma equipe independente paga, a BAS World. No ano seguinte, ele venceu uma etapa e liderou o rally brevemente antes que uma lesão o obrigasse a abandonar a prova, e posteriormente ficou em 14º lugar na classificação geral em 2026 com a Hoto Factory Racing, após tentativas anteriores terminarem em falhas mecânicas.
