Dakar rally

The Dakar Rally is one of the world’s toughest and most famous off-road motorsport events. Originally, the race ran from Paris, France, to Dakar, Senegal, which is how it got its name. Since 2020, it has been held in Saudi Arabia because of security concerns in earlier host regions.

The rally features several vehicle categories:

• 🏍️ Motorcycles
• 🚗 Cars
• 🚛 Trucks
• 🛻 Side-by-side vehicles (SSVs)
• 🚙 Challenger vehicles

Competitors race across deserts, rocky terrain, dunes, and gravel while navigating using a roadbook rather than following a marked course. The event typically lasts about two weeks and covers thousands of kilometers.
