The 2004 Paris-Dakar Rally

[miniMADness]

This race is awesome! The competitors are currently on day 5!!! Im watching coverage of a BMW X5 doing jumps in the middle of a desert! The race has everything from bikes to trucks. These things are so huge! With ground clearance of about a metre and more torque than the Kia factory has ever produced! Colin McRae is currently racing in a Nissan Navara, which sounds bloody awesome!

Is anyone else watching it?!

It's on Eurosport nightly. I've seen all but one night of it.

Rally Raiding: for people who think that the World Rally Championship stages are a bit namby-pamby.

They've been racing for six days...

I didn't see it last night, due to issues with Eurosport scheduling.

I love watching that rally. Seeing the guys on the bikes tearing ass through the desert plains almost made me want to be there on a bike of my own.
The huge trucks are quite a sight as they make their way over the dunes, and you can't forget the quad-bikes.

Rally races are probably, outside of watching drifting and monster trucks, my favorite type of racing. It's just non-stop action that doesn't lose it's interest over long amounts of time, like NASCAR sometimes gets.

NASCAR is awesome.

 

[millencolin]

nascar is tame compared to these guys. i watched it tonight. the terain is unbelieveable

Saw a flash of the racing tonight on SBS, McCrae was just about minus his rear wing

Up to third now I think!

Don't worry, I expect he'll trash it soon.

If he doesn't maybe he drives more smoothly now he realise 1 crash could kill him.

Mitsubishi leads BMW by 1hr and 4 mins!

 

[millencolin]
