    IIRC it was cancelled due to gun fire

    According to
    Quote Originally Posted by Wiki
    The Dakar Rally (or simply "The Dakar"; formerly known as "The Paris Dakar" or "Paris to Dakar Rally" and now as "The Lisboa Dakar") is an annual rally raid type of off-road race, organised by the Amaury Sport Organisation. Most events since the inception in 1978 were from Paris, France to Dakar, Senegal, but due to political instability in Africa the race will be run in South America for the first time in 2009. The race is open to amateur and professional entries. Amateurs typically make up about eighty percent of the participants.
    So I should have said it was moved due to gun fire.

    Now, does anybody know if it will be televised?
