Rallying legend Carlos Sainz Snr revealed that Fernando Alonso is "very keen" to contest the famous Dakar Rally and the pair may even collaborate on the project.
At present, two-time F1 World Champion Alonso is playing down rumours linking him with a return to Formula 1 next year, but he is also not ruling it out.
At the same time, there are reports that Toyota is keen on running Alonso, 37, at Dakar next year. He tested a Toyota Hilux in May - pictured above.
"It would be very nice for us to form a team, and I know that Fernando is very keen to go to Dakar," Sainz, whose son with the same name races in F1 with McLaren, told Marca sports newspaper.
The 2020 Dakar Rally will take place in Saudi Arabia next January.
