DAKAR 2026
Roof tents tested at Dakar 2026: the ultimate validation
We took our roof tents and awnings to the toughest rally in the world with Santana Racing Team and their Santana 400D. Stage after stage, night after night, with no structural or functional failures.
Every stageUsed every nightNo structural failures
The Dakar Rally 2026 is considered the greatest reliability and endurance test in motorsport. In this edition, BragusCamp became the only company specialising in roof tents and camping awnings to take an active part in the event, putting its products through the most extreme conditions alongside Santana Racing Team and their legendary Santana 400D.
Dakar, the ultimate product test
🌡️
Extreme temperatures
Brutal swings between daytime heat and night-time cold in the middle of the desert.
📳
Constant vibration
Thousands of kilometres of tracks punishing every joint, every hinge and every mount.
🌪️
Sand, dust and wind
Plus extreme humidity: the perfect environment to expose any weak spot.
⛺
Daily set-up
Pitching and packing up every day in extreme conditions, where speed and safety matter.
BragusCamp roof tents and awnings were tested for real during every stage. Every night the team relied on them to rest and recover before getting back on the track: there was no room for failure.
Santana Racing Team and the Santana 400D: the perfect platform
We took part alongside Santana Racing Team, on board the legendary Santana 400D, a vehicle with a strong competition heritage.
The Santana 400D + BragusCamp combination is ready for long expeditions, professional use, extreme overlanding and anyone who demands reliability above all.
