Chasing an All-Terrain Dream
Ideas come and go every day, but they never blaze a trail without ambition and sacrifice.
For Christine GZ, her ambition and sacrifice to become a professional off-road racing driver has taken her around the world pursuing one underlying dream – to race the Dakar. After years of constant hard work with a never-give-up mindset, Christine GZ will compete in the 2024 Dakar Rally with TC Racing.
Christine GZ at Dakar 2024
Christine GZ motorsport’s career started with a homebuilt rally car in Spain. Since those humble, self-funded beginnings, she’s competed in historic races like the Baja 1000, the Mint 400, and the globetrotting Extreme E racing league. The source behind her motivation is her unwavering ambition, which has led her to this milestone, the chance to compete in one of the most demanding racing events in the world.
Joining GZ is someone who knows the unforgiving landscape of the Saudi Arabian desert well, Ricardo Torlaschi. With ten Dakar participations under his racing belt, Torlaschi is an ideal match to co-drive with Christine GZ at the Dakar Rally, a grueling 12-stage, 5,000-mile endurance off-road race.
TC Racing Off-Road Rally Debut
TC Racing, owned by Real Madrid international goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, will kick off its crossover from paved track circuits to off-road racing with the Dakar Rally. TC Racing has confirmed its team for the 2024 season of Spanish Formula 4, in addition to entering the World Rally Raid Championship (W2RC). With Christine GZ behind the wheel, chances are more vital than ever for an off-road winning season.
Chasing a Dream is Half the Race
Anyone involved in motorsport will tell you that battles are won and lost getting to the start line. But once that checkered flag drops, the war begins. A war that’ll put GZ’s nearly ten years of racing experience to the ultimate test across the terrain that punishes the weak and the slow.

I have no doubt Christine GZ will make it. All she needs is fuel, tires, and a little luck. The rest is in her capable hands and feet. She’s a born racer with the heart of a prizefighter. Add horsepower, and you have the makings of a champion.
