    SBS have a half hour "summary" - which is a bare bones thing focused on the non-private participants and their advertising - at 1730 each day.

    The Dakar does not start until the 5th of Jan this year - being in South America they are a day behind us so will not see any telecast until the 6th.

    Me too. I have been following the Dakar for as long as I can remember.
    This is the official site, and has daily videos - pretty much what you will see on TV coverage. Official website of the Dakar rally raid

    Ah yes the Dakar which doesn't go to Dakar. Hey it's not even on the same continent as Dakar. Not even in the same hemispehere as Dakar.

    It was the Paris-Dakar Rally.

    Then the Dakar Rally.

    Maybe now it ought to just be called The Rally. ?

    Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, not the original Dakar, it could be argued not Dakar at all, but still a great race. With such a reputation, support vehicles get street cred by merely following the pack [ VW Amorak, anyone?] And , what's not to like about a country with the motto " by reason or by force". [ Chile } How it all started;


    AN ENDURING CHALLENGE
    The adventure began back in 1977, when Thierry Sabine got lost on his motorbike in the Libyan desert during the Abidjan-Nice Rally. Saved from the sands in extremis, he returned to France still in thrall to this landscape and promising himself he would share his fascination with as many people as possible. He proceeded to come up with a route starting in Europe, continuing to Algiers and crossing Agadez before eventually finishing at Dakar. The founder coined a motto for his inspiration: "A challenge for those who go. A dream for those who stay behind." Courtesy of his great conviction and that modicum of madness peculiar to all great ideas, the plan quickly became a reality. Since then, the Paris-Dakar, a unique event sparked by the spirit of adventure, open to all riders and carrying a message of friendship between all men, has never failed to challenge, surprise and excite. Over the course of almost thirty years, it has generated innumerable sporting and human stories.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
