Jerome de Sadeleer

Jérôme de Sadeleer, born on June 5, 1988, is a Swiss rally raid racer with a diverse background in motorsports. While he currently competes in the UTV category, his career began on the circuit in sports prototypes in Great Britain, where he achieved impressive results. This foundation paved the way for his entry into rally raid racing, spurred by a connection with a Saudi friend eager to develop a Dakar-focused project in Saudi Arabia. This initiative led to the formation of a team supported by Cyril Neveu, a five-time Dakar winner, who served as team manager.

De Sadeleer's Dakar debut in 2022 saw him achieve a promising 25th place in the SSV category. He also has experience in the European Le Mans Series and the Le Mans Cup. His second Dakar in 2024 solidified his potential, with de Sadeleer contending for the win and finishing just two minutes behind the leader, securing a stage win along the way. This performance was particularly noteworthy as he competed against factory-backed drivers in his Can-Am from MMP.

Beyond racing, Jérôme de Sadeleer is an entrepreneur. He recently launched Sadeleer Cars, a business dedicated to selling luxury and collector cars.
