The scale of this challenge has led to a change in the race’s format, which will include 14 days of racing in 2012. This year we've been gunning for Red Bull racer Marc Coma, who's currently battling it out with race leader Cyril Despres. Cool video of him Marc Coma here....
It should be interesting to see how things play out between these two in the final days of the race. Peru brings new challenges for all of the racers, so it's still anyone's game! The Dakar continues to live up to its name as one of the toughest races in motorsport, and this year’s rally has tragically already claimed its first life, as motorcyclist Jorge Martinez Boero of Argentina died from a cardiac arrest, after crashing during the rally’s first stage. To catch up with all things Dakar Rally related, Red Bull has setup a cool webite bringing you daily updates direct from the front line. Visit Dakar Rally 2012.
