  1. In my opinion and I may be wrong Baha while rough, is far more a SPEED event than survival. Of course go fast and break things FAST. The Dakar event is a multi-day long gruelling challenge through many various terrains. It is truely mainly a SURVIVAL / ENDURANCE event. As much vehicle/motor bike as driver, co-driver and rider. But not only tough on the competotors but generally as severe on support teams/vehicles. Over the years it has shifted location many times. Originally starting Paris, down to North Africa, travel many different Africa areas. However unstabilities and physical life threatening dangers of North Africa, and always, then, finishing in DAKAR. After many years and also building bad reaction to running down French and Spanish roads, in severely modified motor vehicles. The event moved to far locations, for example even to South America, FAR from claasic Paris-Dakar, to finish at west coastal places for example after covering diverse terrain, including very high altitudes, saping performance of engines, and even having breathing issues for people involved, and even tag along spectators. Worth watching far morevof this, both old classic and recent times. Always has been a fascinating event, not as well covered by TV and media in general, though some reporting and video has appeared. Often though subscription channels, and later highlight video releases tend to be best by far.
