The famous tough race starts yearly on Europe and ends after 18 difficult driving days in Senegal, Africa. The 300 participants in the contest hope for the excellent field drivers. The participants use various kinds of vehicles including cars, motorcycles and trucks. The ways through the African's deserts are very difficult hence only third of the beginning participants succeed in arriving to the final point of the race on the Dakar's beach in Senegal.
