Used to be Paris to Dakar back in the day, but because Africa is so unstable they moved it to South America. Endurance racing cars, trucks, motorcycles & quads.

To me, nothing is better than Dakar, Baja, WRC.

I'm you HD, except WRC. Dakar and Baja are still holding their own, but WRC is rather dead with only three constructors fighting for anything. The glory days are gone, the spectators are gone, now it just a race for second place since Loeb is all over

Getting back on topic, i really enjoy what Peterhansel, a legendary name in Dakar, is doing with his X-raid Mini. Al-Attiyah, the 2011 winner, is a total dissapointment.

And i must add, Dakar is a great race to take spectacular photos:
