this is probably the best educational video of any motorsport I've ever seen

Last year's commentator was epic, please have this year one more time.

Dakar is one of my dreams (just be able to do the course and watch the scenery, without all the rush of the race)... Bravo to the french that came up with the idea

Amazing video ❤️ Dakar is definitely one of the biggest races on earth along with the Monaco Grand Prix, 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indy 500, and Rallye Monte-Carlo 🔥🔥🔥

Excellent production, Dakar team! Congrats!

Race in peace Thierry!!! Thank you for creating this beautiful and awesome challenge that we all love called Dakar!!! 🙏🙌

actually really informative, put in a lot of work!

I'm very proud to have a huge Rally like this being named after an African City🔥😍

This is a really good video, thanks so much for all the info.

I love the darker....... Driving into the unknown such an adventure

We need a video on the penalties - still trying to understand those.

Great animations!

Incredible 👏

Thank you for this ❤

ALWAYS look forward to this rally! do wish it was back in S.A. more different terrain instead of sand and more sand lol

The best introduction ever! Thanks

Thank you for best explanation 🙂

Great video!

Nice.... for the Newbies 👍 Can we have next video please ? ....'Learning the Roadbook'

Amazing 🤩

Good education

I think, with more exposure from around the world, Dakar stages could cover most if not all iconic and exotic locations from all over.

What a great video!

Imagine a world without borders, an all driveable heaven ❤

There was an arcade racing game series in the mid to late 2000s called motorstorm which was inspired by rally raid events like dakar, it was kind of like rally raid meets burning man kind of vibe. I had no idea the transport of the vehicles in that game via ship was an actual part of the real life event.

Excellent video.

Amazing

We need a coast to coast Aussie Dakar

Wanna see it back in Africa

ЧЕКАЄМО З НЕТЕРПІННЯМ!

cool! 👍

What an epic video

The best dakar is the original place mama africa

Yes it's my dream

Welcome to Saudi Arabia. Al-Azami

Wish the race could safely return to it's African roots

Greatest rally and sporting event and yet the coverage is limited

the navigation part is tough

bring back dakar to africa again

DAKAR...........GOD! MAKE MY DREAM COME TRUE. I PROMISE, IF I GET OPPORTUNITY, I WILL BE THERE ONCE IN MY LIFE BEFORE MY DEATH........🦋🌼🍁🍃🍀❣️🔱🐲

I think Dakar should return to South America. As the video said, there were thousands of passionate fans that loved it. No one in Saudi Arabia gives a hoot

I will take part in Dakar in the near future.

My motor racing "fix" while waiting for Formula 1 to return

Rip to rally legend. Mr. Kenchard Blocked.

At 4:45 mark the new chapter needs an oil money/Aramco/MBS sponsor banner so we know who now owns this.

I really wanted to learn how competitors earn bonus time.

Hey those graphics look better than the official game! Which is ABYSMAL!

I dream of a Dakar adventure

👍👍

YO 10 AÑOS CONSECUTIVO QUE MIRO RALLY DAKAR

you guys forgot to add the most important part : how much it costs to participate

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I wish that Dakar will happen in India also

Hey redbull... how about a sponsorship?!

i wish they would go back to Africa, the South African Rally has shown everyone that you can race there again

missing the south american fans since it moved........

The narrator sounds like Austin Stevens

I have no idea how to fix car but now im interested to join

Why the Road book is analogue??

No Dakar to Cape Town info given....heard somewhere the race was run like that once aswell.

So does everyone race at the same time or is it separate like in WRC?

For how many hours does a dakar competitor ride/drive per day approximately?

Adventure race

Limited resources? You make me laugh

reqs at 7:40

This is the same video as last year lol

I'll INS SHA ALLAH Join Dakar in future

because of the Dakar, I now bought a Pajero Dakar

Next season in INDIA

So an XT 500 YAMAHA WON OUTRITE IN THE FIRST PARIS TO DAKAR, corect me if im wrong cheers from OZ PS GO TOBY.

"and finish welding the subframes" like they pull up in their street car, slap on a couple of mods, and take off across a desert. Huh? They do what? Oh.

South America right... without Brazil.

Three in a row and still no clarification on the actual race or timing/scoring…… do better. Same as the previous year and still no mention of scoring and times. Still unclear whether overall is actually overall or who’s competing against who. As I mentioned the best part of a race like the TDF is the races within the race, you’d be well served to make it known about those if any, and highlight them.

ITS NOT THE DAKAR IF IT IS NOT IN DAKAR

$ik 🐪

Have lots 💰💰💰💰 then enter the Dakar.😄

Amateurs with a hell of money.. That's no the true spirit of Dakar sadly

KAMAZ?

Better go Aussie

hope one day dakar can take place in China, the desert and wild land here won't let you down❤

Algeria again 😑Why can't good things stay !?

no Kamaz 11 times constructor winner? Shame on you dakkar..

Damn what a lousy but admirable way to go out. Nature can be cruel.

I thought it was started with men racing on horses

Why still call it Dakar if it’s not been finishing in bloody Dakar

10 minutes of review. 5 min bikes 30 seconds quads 2 min of cars 2 min of trucks. Can you do better on the cars and trucks

Thing is, even after researching, I don't understand why exactly Dakar can't return to Dakar (Senegal), or Africa. I understand that there were safety problems in Mauritania in 2007-2008, hence why they went to South Africa. But a lot of time has passed since, and this to me seemed like a reason to not race in Mauritania, rather than in Africa as a whole. As I see it, you could enter Senegal in the deserts through Mali aswell, not just through Mauritania, so why doesn't ever Dakar revisit Dakar? I can understand that now there are wars in Africa, and even before there were serious issues like the Sudan war, but surely there have been years in the past decade when it was at least as safe to do a race in Africa as it was in the worst years of three decades before 2008? I mean.. other rallies still go to Africa like the Budapest-Bamaco, although that one never stops in Bamako either, I don't really understand why they keep changing the final destination in almost every rally. Also, Saudi Arabia is not 100% safe either, but I guess this is about as close to Africa as it gets. But the takes I've read made me a bit disappointed: " for political and economic reasons, it looks unlikely that the Dakar will return to Africa" -from the Red Bull Dakar page 2017 The economic reason being that Saudi Arabia and South America races pay better? Jordi Viladoms said in 2019: "I am quite confident that the Dakar rally won't return to Dakar in Senegal, but a return to Africa may still be possible in the future" Why not Senegal? Never? It's kind of sad to me, I was too young to understand the racing before they left Africa, but there, it really seemed like you had to get from one point to the other in any way as it was difficult enough to just get there already, now waypoints are too important

Not enough French accent in this video.

Sad to see the the once great Paris to Dakar rally has gone woke...on the redbull channel the 2024 route video was mostly about a "carbon neutral" dakar rally by 2030. Lmfao

will it drive through saudi arabia's slave camps?

okay but wtf is dakar? you keep telling me history about random drivers i still dont know how this sport works
