The Dakar Rally – January, 2021
They call it the toughest motorsport event in the world.
From its humble beginnings in France in 1978, the Dakar Rally has become the biggest and most well known off-road motorsport event in the world.
It’s demanding, and requires the ultimate in both physical and mental fitness. Just to finish is a huge achievement – and many don’t.
Yet every year over 500 riders, drivers and co-drivers – as well as thousands of support crew – from around the world turn up to take on this torturous 14 day event.
But why?
Because the Dakar is much more than just a rally-raid. It’s an incomparable human adventure and the ultimate challenge any off-road racer can face.
