Details of the event are expected to be announced soon, but organizers hope to draw a large crowd, offering opportunities to learn more about the Dakar Rally, meet Wallace himself, and contribute to his journey.
Wallace’s dedication to his sport, combined with his background as an electrical engineer, makes him a unique and compelling competitor. His technical expertise allows him to understand and maintain his motorcycle, a critical advantage in the harsh conditions of the Dakar.
The community’s support will be instrumental in helping Wallace secure the necessary resources for training, equipment, and logistical support. As the 2026 Dakar Rally draws closer, Northallerton is ready to stand behind Robbie Wallace, cheering him on as he chases his dream. This Supporters Night marks the beginning of an exciting chapter in Wallace's journey, and the town is eager to play its part in helping him achieve his ultimate goal.
