Rally Paris-Dakar is not just a race and competition. This is a real competition of will and courage. Extreme rally founded French Tierry Sabbin. The case helped as always. The French motorcyclist was corny lost in the Libyan desert, taking part in one rally. A miraculously saved athlete survived such indescribable emotions that he decided to create a real likeness of his adventure, only adding a “highlight” of a competitive spirit. In the end, December 26, 1978 was given the first start to new reckless races called Paris-Dakar.
One of the features of these races is that not only athletes, but also amateurs, about 80, take part in it. Also, the competition plan is somewhat different than that of ordinary rally. Here, the entire site is divided into separate stages, and the participant wins that will pass them the fastest, that is, ultimately, the fastest will reach the finish. Knowing the features of the Paris-Dakar rally, it is worth noting that just arrival at the finish is already a kind of victory, because the story of Dakar knows cases when the competition ended sadly, up to a fatal outcome. This is the specificity of these races. They take place in difficult and very tiring conditions. Anything: dunes, stones, salt marshes, etc. represents the highway to the racers. p.
The 2012 Paris-Dakar rally is held on the Argentine and Chilean lands. This is facilitated by the local unique and colorful nature, an unusual landscape, and, of course, faithful fans of these competitions. It is worth noting that only in 2009 the racing battles did not unfold in Africa, and a terrorist threat contributed to this.
Nowadays, abundant work is underway to develop new tracks that contribute to the greatest safety of riders. The safety of the audience also does not stand aside. Activity in this area is constantly being conducted.
Rally “Paris-Dakar” is unique competitions. If only because here a whole life passes for many. The competition plan is drawn up so that you can’t get off with a quick road. But the participants know what they are going to, they know what they are losing, and what they acquire.
