Those big trucks look like so much fun.
They kind of remind me of garbage trucks.

So the Dakar wasn't even in Africa this year! They officially moved the Dakar race to South America for fear of terrorist attacks in the original location. Not everyone was having that though... some of the OG's put on a shadow race in Africa on the traditional course (Paris to Dakar, Senegal). Pretty sure this "shadow" dakar race, or "Africa Race" as they referred to it, was unofficial.. but don't quote me.
