Introduction
BORN TO RACE.
RAISED IN THE DESERT.
Born in 2002, Seth Quintero grew up in San Marcos, California, where his family spent their recreational time off-roading in the desert. He first rode a quad bike at just four years old, the start of a life spent chasing speed across sand.
A Red Bull athlete since his teens, Seth made history at the Dakar Rally, becoming the youngest stage winner in the event’s history at just 18 years old. Competing across the FIA World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC) and international off-road events, he has established himself as a generational talent on the world stage.

The Racing
THE DAKAR RALLY AND THE W2RC.
The Dakar Rally is the most grueling event in motorsport: a multi-week off-road race across thousands of miles of desert, mountains and uncharted terrain. It is held each year in Saudi Arabia and broadcast in more than 190 countries.
Dakar is the centerpiece of the FIA World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC), the global series for cross-country rallying that runs across several continents through the year. Seth races at the front of it, and in 2026 he added the American Rally Association National Championship to his record.
