It goes without saying that the Dakar Rally just has to be one of if not the most epic motorsports events on the planet. We previously talked about how the event’s organizers were making this year’s race more epic than ever before, with a grueling route that would test the mettle of both man and machine.
Well, the Dakar Rally is now in full swing, and the best part is that you can keep up to date with all the action from pretty much anywhere in the world—and for free at that. That’s because the Dakar Rally’s coverage is being uploaded for all racing fans around the world to enjoy on YouTube. Pretty cool, right?
Now, in case you missed out on the opening stage of the Rally, you can check it out, as well as the rest of the goings on at Dakar over at the official YouTube channel of the Dakar Rally.
The off-road racing action kicked off on January 3, with a short but punchy prologue through Bisha. The 29-kilometer route was meant to get the competitors up to speed, and acclimatize both man and machine to the arid desert landscape they’d call home for the next two weeks.
