About the event

The Dakar Rally is an off-road endurance race across some of the world's harshest terrain, now run in Saudi Arabia after decades based in Africa and, before that, South America - moves forced by security concerns along its original Paris-Dakar route through the Sahara. Cars, motorcycles, trucks and quads all compete across the same demanding stages.
