The DAKAR Rally 2010 course map


The 2010 Dakar Rally starts from Buenos Aires to Cordoba and follows a gruelling course across South America - see 2010 course info here. News updates here.

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.

Will you be participating Richard? I'm sure there's an MSc dissertation in there somewhere!

I'd like to photograph the Rally but my days of motorcycle rallying were over when I ended up in Cork accident centre in one rally then smashed up a one month old Africa Twin on another!
