    Cool stuff, I didn't realize there were so many entrants. The huge diesel trucks are cool.

    It is a cool rally, but call it something other then Dakar, unless they are driving across the Atlantic to finish in Dakar. It is just not the same rally anymore.

    They stopped calling it the Paris-Dakar Rally when they no longer began in Paris.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...

    No, not the guy...He had broken his back, maybe in the Dakar, and showed up on the freeride circuit. Took second at kw to garbiel's first that year.

    Scientists now have decisive molecular evidence that humans and chimpanzees once had a common momma and that this lineage had previously split from monkeys.

    It's on and it's my favorite since I was a kid.

    As I get older, I really only care about the bikes and the old cars.

    I couldn't find the longer highlights on their YouTube channel. I did find them on Peacock, but it appears that version of the show lands a day later.
