Great Pictures them love the Dakar, I have been watching the Africa Eco Race as well top riding all KTM in top 5.
I love watching the Dakar. It's a pity the TV coverage often gets delayed or cancelled for the snooker.
i think its just the old name they keep using Lee …Like the tour de france , it sometimes starts in Holland or as we saw the UK !!! the Paris Dakar in 2012 was held in South America! Peru and Argentina! very similar route to what top gear did….. I google your question and heres an interesting link telling us about the rally itself http://basementgeographer.com/the-ever-changing-route-of-the-dakar-rally/
