National Geographic needs to so a story on these guys!
They have more talent in their left toe than all of Crashcar drivers combined!
That speed on that surface! NUTS!

What a waste of natural resources, needless thrashing of vast tracks of unspoiled wilderness, decimating local floral and fauna habitat, running the locals scared, mayhem, carnage, complete and utter lack of regard and decency...

I love it!   Thumbsup

Looks like fun to me!  I've seen similar (but not the same) near the Chocolate mountains and other regional areas in SE CA/SW AZ that I've taken my truck through where you can have similar fun.

Those places look like a degree rougher, but not that much different.

I see one of the motorcycle riders died on the last segment (appropriately named for him) - got off the bike, said he felt faint and then collapsed of a heart attack.

42 years old.  R.I.P.

The Dakar is not forgiving to anyone.

One of the KTM riders in the pics is wearing a BMW Rallye 2 suit - that's kind of funny.

if stock car was about its roots - stock car racing, it would be cool to see how the show room cars did go. or didn't.
