The Dakar Intercontinental Rally
The history of Dakar Rally starts in 1978 when 182 vehicles turned up on the Place du Trocadéro for a 10,000-kilometre journey into
the unknown, destination Dakar. The greatest Rally in the world was born. Due to political and security reasons, the rally was moved to South America, however, the Intercontinental Rally still stayed back in Africa and is still using large parts of the original route from the early beginnings. The real deal. It is an endurance test for man and machine. Every year this race attracts more and more adventurous drivers competing against each other.
THE DAKAR INTERCONTINENTAL RALLY
The route passes through some of the most spectacular landscapes in Morocco, Mauritania andSenegal evoking a timeless sense of adventure and exploration. From the endless dunes of the Sahara to the desolate expanses of coastal deserts, the rocky trails of the Atlas, and the low lying Savanna, each day brings new surprises and unexpected challenges for cars and drivers.
