Dakar

The Dakar Rally is one of the most grueling and prestigious off-road endurance races in the world. Originally founded in 1978 as the Paris-Dakar Rally, the event has evolved into a multi-stage race covering thousands of miles across some of the most challenging terrain on the planet. Now held primarily in Saudi Arabia, the Dakar Rally tests the endurance, navigation skills, and mechanical resilience of competitors in multiple vehicle classes, including motorcycles, cars, trucks, quads, and UTVs. With its mix of desert dunes, rocky trails, and extreme weather conditions, the race is known for its punishing demands and high attrition rate. Considered the pinnacle of off-road rally racing, the Dakar Rally attracts elite teams, privateers, and adventure-seekers from around the globe, making it one of the most watched and respected events in motorsport.
