Dakar Rally will start overnight. Different route in South America from the previous editions as well as a modification to the vehicle rules.
This event is probably one of the hardest competitive motoring challenges on the planet.

It's been run in South America for a few years now because of unrest in Africa.Stupid they still call it the Dakar when it's not even on the same continent as Dakar!

^^ The Dakar gets a lot of support - there is an entry from Great Wall - Chinese are dipping their toe in the waters of motorsport and chose to do so on the Dakar.
