Sailun Tyre and GeaLife Motorsport complete the 2026 Dakar Rally

Sailun Tyre recently teamed up with its Italian customer, Tagliabue Gomme, to make its debut as a tyre partner at the Dakar Rally, the world's most demanding and prestigious rally event.
The Italian team GeaLife Motorsport completed all stages safely and reliably on tyres from Sailun and praised their strengths. Sailun Tyre congratulated the GeaLife Motorsport rally team on finishing on the Dakar Classic roster at this year's rally. Two teams, led by Giuseppe Simonato and Giorgio Porello, completed the 13 demanding stages, covering 7,281 kilometers, 4,162 of those against the clock, in their Iveco trucks 190 (Simonato, 600 PS) and Magirus ‘Misone’ (Porello, 200 PS) on Sailun S910 14.00 R20 tyres.
Both crews praised the off-road tyres for their resilience and stability under the unique, extreme conditions that the Dakar Rally constantly throws at people and equipment.
Harry Wang, General Manager of Sailun Group Europe, stated: “Sailun congratulates both GeaLife Motorsport teams on their achievements and impressive perseverance. No simulation can predict the conditions that the Dakar Rally will throw at equipment, which is why we are extremely proud of the Sailun S910, which exemplifies our company's qualities and has fearlessly and successfully faced this unique endurance test. Both trucks ran on biodiesel for the entire rally.”
