The 2003 Dakar Rally, also known as the 2003 Telefónica-Dakar Rally, was the 25th running of the Dakar Rally event.[1] The rally began on 1 January 2003 at Marseille in France and finished at Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt on 19 January, with the course crossing North Africa.[2]

Kenjiro Shinozuka, who won the event in 1997, suffered serious injury in an accident between Ghat and Sabha in Libya.[3][4] Former world rally champion and four times winner of the Dakar Rally, Ari Vatanen, returned to take part in the rally,[5] and won the ninth, thirteen and fifteen stages[6][7][8] French co-driver, Bruno Cauvy died in an accident on the tenth stage when his car went out of control and overturned in sand dunes.[9][10] Stephane Peterhansel took an early lead in the rally,[11] but was forced out in the penultimate stage by mechanical problems.[12] The rally was won for the second time in succession by Japanese driver, Hiroshi Masuoka.[13][14] The motorcycle category was won for the third time by Richard Sainct.
