For the first time in the 30 years history of the Dakar, the race has been cancelled. 300 millions viewers worldwide and 500 racers are let down costing more than than 12 million Euros (excluding TV rights) to the organisation and a life of savings to the competitors. But no amount of money can make up for the loss of a Dream for those who might never get a second chance to experience Africa. Watch the video on CBV Racing and click on the SBS logo.

How sad, for those privateers that have lost their dream overnight, to cancel the rally when everyone is there prepped and paid for is the cruelest kind of injustice words cannot describe. It’s a sad world we live in when such brave and adventurous men can have their dreams dashed by the threat of terrorism.
