It is an amazing spectacle... Pity it's not too handy to go and watch.
Did you watch the Race To Dakar series that Charlie Boorman et al made? Impressive stuff!
Patrick.

I admit it's required viewing for me every day it's on of every year.
The Sunday night highlights is on now as I type this.

An interesting point there Mark. Due to the rather dull snooker over-running for the past two nights by an hour (and a likelihood that it will for the rest of the week) the Eurosport nightly coverage has been delayed. Last week, Eurosport's Dakar commentator urged people to visit Eurosport's web site forum area and note their views and comments about the days racing. Due to the past two evenings coverage being 'sabotaged' by the snooker, the Eurosport forum has come alive with posts of disgust and annoyance at the delayed coverage - was beyond 550 posts of complaint last night. Many posters said they would suggest that Motors TV cover the Dakar next year. Didn't Motors TV win 24 hour live coverage of the LM 24 from Eurosport in 2006? http://forums.eurosport.com/showthread.php?p=215404#post215404 |

I don't think Eurosport ever did a full 24 Hour coverage. It was the first and last 2 hours plus a few 1 hour highlight programmes during the race.
Motors TV covering the Daker? excellent idea, have e-mailed my thoughts

And when you race off road and love the Dakar, and have an Oh Crack of Sparrows Hundred Hours start every weekday morning to get a train into town to go to work each weekday, it gets really, really irritating.........and I am now.....right onto the Eurosport website to vent some spleen! MG Mark |

British Eurosport's schedule puts 'live' coverage at 23:30 tonight  Oh great...my cup really bloody well overfloweth now....... Probably the best way to get coverage is to convince my driver that we should have a crack at the race next year, then unreliable Eurosport scheduling wouldn't be an issue! MG Mark |

it is great to watch, here in Holland we have 2 journals a day on it, scenery is amazing, and we have some favourites for the victory in the truck area I've seen those monsters live for the last 2 years at a motorfestival in Holland, (De Rooy and Stacey), beautiful and LOUD! Audi could learn from it  |

Watching Eurosport Dakar report and just saw a interview with Tim Coronel driving a Blower fromHolland. Good interview and he seems a nice polite guy. Makes me sick, most of you guys from holland seem very nice and polite! Hope he has a good race. |
