ver 5500 miles of daunting terrain through
Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina, in what is
being called the toughest route since the
event has moved to South America, pushed racers
to the limit at the 2017 Dakar Rally, where intense
conditions, injury, heartbreak, penalties and finally
an upset victory spun another incredible tale of the
toughest off-road race in the world.
On top of the demands of the terrain, temperature
extremes ranged from 115°F to below freezing,
weather extremes resulted in one rider being struck
by lightning, and altitudes reached over 16,500 feet
(including an entire week over 10,000 feet). But
throughout the two-week test of man and machine
comes the striking beauty of the Dakar Rally, and
stunning imagery we just can't get enough of.
Enjoy some scenes from the 2017 Dakar Rally,
amazing landscapes and dramatic moments that
defined the 39th edition of the race.
