    The 31st running of the Dakar Rally is being held in South America for the second year, instead of the traditional African route, due to ongoing security concerns. This year’s race began and will end in Buenos Aires, covering a looping 9,000 kilometers between Argentina and Chile over 14 stages. 362 Teams began the race with 176 motorcycles and quad bikes, 134 cars, and 52 trucks. The race is just over halfway completed now, the winners expected to cross the finish line on January 16th. Collected here are several photographs from the first 8 stages of this year’s rally.

    BTW this year the Paris Dakar was held in South America after being shifted last year due to the uncertain political situation in a number of North African countries where it had been traditionally held since 1978.

    This is a fantasy come alive for any off-roader worth his mettle :yesss: :yesss: :yesss:
