Editing Dakar Rally (section)

===Classics===
A new Dakar Classic class was introduced in 2021 for cars and trucks manufactured before 2000, or new vehicles built to original pre-2000 specification. For the fifth edition in 2025, rules allowed another five years where 2005 became the latest specification year for the class, effectively making the rule 20 years for classification as classics.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://storage-aso.lequipe.fr/ASO/motorSports_ccr/dak25-plaquette-dakar-classic-uk-v1.pdf|title=2025 Dakar Classic|website=Dakar Rally|publisher=[[Amaury Sport Organisation]]|access-date=4 September 2024}}</ref>

These vehicles share the same bivouac and the organization but run in a parallel, yet different route, suitable for historic vehicles. The scoreboard is not based on fastest time, but rather on [[regularity rally]] point scoring system. The class feature a reduced entry fee, yet the same rules and fees apply for the assistance.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://netstorage.lequipe.fr/ASO/motorSports_dak/e-dakar-tour-en.pdf
