Dakar is one of my dreams (just be able to do the course and watch the scenery, without all the rush of the race)... Bravo to the french that came up with the idea
Amazing video ❤️ Dakar is definitely one of the biggest races on earth along with the Monaco Grand Prix, 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indy 500, and Rallye Monte-Carlo 🔥🔥🔥
There was an arcade racing game series in the mid to late 2000s called motorstorm which was inspired by rally raid events like dakar, it was kind of like rally raid meets burning man kind of vibe. I had no idea the transport of the vehicles in that game via ship was an actual part of the real life event.
I think Dakar should return to South America. As the video said, there were thousands of passionate fans that loved it. No one in Saudi Arabia gives a hoot
But why can't they go back to Dakar, Senegal? I understand the Mauritania terrorist problem that arose in 2007-08, but a lot of time has passed, and they can go to Senegal through Mali.. The Budapest-Bamako rally goes to Sierra Leone usually, following that route the Dakar could go to Bamako, then Dakar, Senegal. What are the reasons behind not going to Senegal? (Jordi Viladoms said in 2019: "I am quite confident that the Dakar rally won't return to Dakar in Senegal, but a return to Africa may still be possible in the future")
it really depends on the stage, but anywhere from 1 hour to 5-7 hours or more, especially if you get lost. back in the old days (late 80s and 90s) some people wouldnt show up to camp until dark because they got lost or lost time due to mechanical problems which could take several hours to fix especially when you had to wait for the support trucks to come up.
Three in a row and still no clarification on the actual race or timing/scoring…… do better. Same as the previous year and still no mention of scoring and times. Still unclear whether overall is actually overall or who’s competing against who. As I mentioned the best part of a race like the TDF is the races within the race, you’d be well served to make it known about those if any, and highlight them.
everyone is racing against the time, (overall and catagory), you have the overall winner for that particular stage that day. all of those times including any penalty times are added up at the end and the person with the lowest time (no matter the catagory) wins, then you also have the overall winner in each catagory with the lowest time. you can say that in Dakar there is a race within a race, the overall race and the race against others in their own catagory (bike, quad, cars/buggies, trucks)
"and finish welding the subframes" like they pull up in their street car, slap on a couple of mods, and take off across a desert. Huh? They do what? Oh.
Thing is, even after researching, I don't understand why exactly Dakar can't return to Dakar (Senegal), or Africa. I understand that there were safety problems in Mauritania in 2007-2008, hence why they went to South Africa. But a lot of time has passed since, and this to me seemed like a reason to not race in Mauritania, rather than in Africa as a whole. As I see it, you could enter Senegal in the deserts through Mali aswell, not just through Mauritania, so why doesn't ever Dakar revisit Dakar? I can understand that now there are wars in Africa, and even before there were serious issues like the Sudan war, but surely there have been years in the past decade when it was at least as safe to do a race in Africa as it was in the worst years of three decades before 2008? I mean.. other rallies still go to Africa like the Budapest-Bamaco, although that one never stops in Bamako either, I don't really understand why they keep changing the final destination in almost every rally. Also, Saudi Arabia is not 100% safe either, but I guess this is about as close to Africa as it gets. But the takes I've read made me a bit disappointed: " for political and economic reasons, it looks unlikely that the Dakar will return to Africa" -from the Red Bull Dakar page 2017 The economic reason being that Saudi Arabia and South America races pay better? Jordi Viladoms said in 2019: "I am quite confident that the Dakar rally won't return to Dakar in Senegal, but a return to Africa may still be possible in the future" Why not Senegal? Never? It's kind of sad to me, I was too young to understand the racing before they left Africa, but there, it really seemed like you had to get from one point to the other in any way as it was difficult enough to just get there already, now waypoints are too important
Sad to see the the once great Paris to Dakar rally has gone woke...on the redbull channel the 2024 route video was mostly about a "carbon neutral" dakar rally by 2030. Lmfao
this is probably the best educational video of any motorsport I've ever seen
Last year's commentator was epic, please have this year one more time.
Dakar is one of my dreams (just be able to do the course and watch the scenery, without all the rush of the race)...
Bravo to the french that came up with the idea
legend has it the french came up with it when running from fights per the french way
too bad its all consolidated in one single country these days (Saudi). The OG Dakar rally actually used to end in Dakar
Amazing video ❤️ Dakar is definitely one of the biggest races on earth along with the Monaco Grand Prix, 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indy 500, and Rallye Monte-Carlo 🔥🔥🔥
24 Hours of le mans i think the most difficult one among these
Excellent production, Dakar team! Congrats!
Race in peace Thierry!!! Thank you for creating this beautiful and awesome challenge that we all love called Dakar!!! 🙏🙌
This is a really good video, thanks so much for all the info.
Great animations!
actually really informative, put in a lot of work!
I'm very proud to have a huge Rally like this being named after an African City🔥😍
Buncha rich white people running their toys across Africa.
I love the darker.......
Driving into the unknown such an adventure
We need a video on the penalties - still trying to understand those.
Great video!
The best introduction ever! Thanks
Thank you for this ❤
Excellent video.
What a great video!
Amazing 🤩
Amazing
ALWAYS look forward to this rally!
do wish it was back in S.A. more different terrain instead of sand and more sand lol
i think next year ?
@@ECfuckingW22 imagine if they did it in stages :O part Saudi and part S.A. ;)
Incredible 👏
cool! 👍
Thank you for best explanation 🙂
Nice.... for the Newbies 👍
Can we have next video please ?
....'Learning the Roadbook'
What an epic video
ЧЕКАЄМО З НЕТЕРПІННЯМ!
Wanna see it back in Africa
Wish the race could safely return to it's African roots
the South African Desert Rally is showing everyone that its safe again
I think, with more exposure from around the world, Dakar stages could cover most if not all iconic and exotic locations from all over.
DAKAR...........GOD! MAKE MY DREAM COME TRUE. I PROMISE, IF I GET OPPORTUNITY, I WILL BE THERE ONCE IN MY LIFE BEFORE MY DEATH........🦋🌼🍁🍃🍀❣️🔱🐲
Good education
Welcome to Saudi Arabia. Al-Azami
Imagine a world without borders, an all driveable heaven ❤
Yes it's my dream
bring back dakar to africa again
Greatest rally and sporting event and yet the coverage is limited
The best dakar is the original place mama africa
We need a coast to coast Aussie Dakar
Sounds mad bro
👍👍

South America was the worst place to hold that race, it was like a dark time for Dakar
@@cool3865 why so?
Hey those graphics look better than the official game! Which is ABYSMAL!
You're being sarcastic. The game has awesome graphics.
At 4:45 mark the new chapter needs an oil money/Aramco/MBS sponsor banner so we know who now owns this.
He him in saudi arabi 4 years you now that 👋🇸🇦🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YO 10 AÑOS CONSECUTIVO QUE MIRO RALLY DAKAR
I dream of a Dakar adventure
the navigation part is tough
I really wanted to learn how competitors earn bonus time.
i wish they would go back to Africa, the South African Rally has shown everyone that you can race there again

Hey redbull... how about a sponsorship?!
U r indian right, shame that indian brands don't get involved in motorsports why beg redbull
Redbull Is already sponsor and it has a official team
@@t.s.p1864 Hero Motorsports.
I will take part in Dakar in the near future.
Fingers crossed, I will be rooting for you!
@@Litzann ♥️
No Dakar to Cape Town info given....heard somewhere the race was run like that once aswell.
i think that was in the 90s when they reversed the stage, but i forgot the reason
So does everyone race at the same time or is it separate like in WRC?
its seperate like in WRC or Desert racing, i think it goes by trucks (support trucks), then cars and buggies, then quads, then bikes
My motor racing "fix" while waiting for Formula 1 to return
I have no idea how to fix car but now im interested to join
Rip to rally legend. Mr. Kenchard Blocked.
Adventure race
I wish that Dakar will happen in India also
arnt there too many people in that country to safetly do a race there?
you guys forgot to add the most important part : how much it costs to participate
For how many hours does a dakar competitor ride/drive per day approximately?
it really depends on the stage, but anywhere from 1 hour to 5-7 hours or more, especially if you get lost. back in the old days (late 80s and 90s) some people wouldnt show up to camp until dark because they got lost or lost time due to mechanical problems which could take several hours to fix especially when you had to wait for the support trucks to come up.
reqs at 7:40
Why the Road book is analogue??
I'll INS SHA ALLAH
Join Dakar in future
missing the south american fans since it moved........
Limited resources? You make me laugh
$ik 🐪
Next season in INDIA
So an XT 500 YAMAHA WON OUTRITE IN THE FIRST PARIS TO DAKAR, corect me if im wrong cheers from OZ PS GO TOBY.
🏁 🚗 🚙 🚛 🐪
because of the Dakar, I now bought a Pajero Dakar
The narrator sounds like Austin Stevens
South America right... without Brazil.
This is the same video as last year lol

Amateurs with a hell of money.. That's no the true spirit of Dakar sadly

ITS NOT THE DAKAR IF IT IS NOT IN DAKAR
Have lots 💰💰💰💰 then enter the Dakar.😄

@@neliskrelis6453
And women too😆
Better go Aussie
Algeria again 😑Why can't good things stay !?
Why still call it Dakar if it’s not been finishing in bloody Dakar
Brand recognition I suppose at this point. Not sure if it’s too late to change it.
KAMAZ?
Damn what a lousy but admirable way to go out. Nature can be cruel.
no Kamaz 11 times constructor winner? Shame on you dakkar..

bro, u can eat sushi.sorry...
I thought it was started with men racing on horses
Almost choked on my food :)
Not enough French accent in this video.
you will always find something to complain about...
hope one day dakar can take place in China, the desert and wild land here won't let you down❤
Would love to see that
Chyna is a rouge country spreading viruses, I think south africa and Namibia are better venues
No commies please
Hahaha....
The desert and wild land might not let us down, but your country's politics and leader certainly will. Love from America 🖕
10 minutes of review.
5 min bikes
30 seconds quads
2 min of cars 2 min of trucks.
Can you do better on the cars and trucks
Sad to see the the once great Paris to Dakar rally has gone woke...on the redbull channel the 2024 route video was mostly about a "carbon neutral" dakar rally by 2030. Lmfao
will it drive through saudi arabia's slave camps?
okay but wtf is dakar? you keep telling me history about random drivers i still dont know how this sport works
