Last year saw the rally in South America for the first time away from it's usual France to Dakar route (originally the Paris - Dakar rally) due to increasing terrorist threats directed at the rally competitors in North Africa. Slightly "off piste" for a geotag photography blog but you can guarantee that the photographers covering the race will be geotagging.
I love this sport. It's the nearest you can get to real life "Wackey Races". High speed, high thrills and map reading ! There is no greater adventure on the planet.
