Adabt supports Marnix Leeuw on the road to Dakar 2027
From the motorway to the desert: why we support Leeuw Rallysport
At Adabt, we work with transport and logistics every day. We connect systems, keep data flowing and help transport companies organise their processes more intelligently. But sometimes transport is about more than planning and data. It is about sand, rocks, dunes and perseverance. That is why we are proud to support Marnix Leeuw of Leeuw Rallysport in his Dakar entries in 2026 and in the upcoming 2027 edition.
A young talent in the toughest class
The Dakar Rally is known as one of the toughest motorsport events in the world. The route demands everything from driver and machine, and the truck class is in a league of its own. Marnix competes in the Dakar truck classification with an Iveco, and does so with great skill and maturity for someone his age.
What appeals to us in Marnix is his combination of talent, enthusiasm and determination. A Dakar entry is not just about driving fast. It is also about preparation, teamwork, smart decisions along the way and the ability to turn setbacks into progress. We recognise that from our own line of work.
Together in the buggy at Baja Europe 2026
At Baja Europe 2026, Adabt joined Leeuw Rallysport, and that involvement went all the way into the buggy. Menno Lambooij, co-owner of Adabt, was behind the wheel and Marnix Leeuw handled the navigation. It was a special experience, in which we saw up close how much precision, communication and trust it takes to bring a race like this to a successful finish.
“You get to know each other quickly in a buggy like that. Every instruction has to be right, every moment counts. Marnix navigates with a calm and sharpness you rarely see. It was an honour to be at the start with him.”
Why this fits Adabt
Rally sport and logistics have more in common than you might think. In both worlds, everything revolves around:
- Reliability: equipment and systems have to work, even under tough conditions.
- The right information at the right time: a navigator who knows the route, or an integration that moves order data from A to B without errors.
- Teamwork: nobody reaches the finish alone.
- Perseverance: when things go wrong, you find a solution and keep going.
That is why this partnership feels so natural to us. We support a young entrepreneur and athlete who is chasing his dream with courage and craftsmanship, in a truck no less.
On to Dakar 2027
After the experiences of 2026, we are looking ahead to Dakar 2027 together with Marnix and the Leeuw Rallysport team. Preparations are in full swing, and we are behind them once again. We will keep you updated via our website and socials on the preparations, the race and of course the results.
Marnix, the very best of luck. We are keeping our fingers crossed for you!
