"For the first time, there will be four vehicles bearing the Dakar Challenge Label taking starter’s orders for the Dakar Rally. Two car crews will be chosen on the rallies of Botswana and Egypt, whilst two motorbike riders will be heading to South America from the events in China and Australia."
Actually the first place of Motorcycles wins a free partecipation to the Dakar 2013.. not too bad, I wanted to attend with a chinese team and started to make the application but I had to give as I am busy with business in that days. Anyhow, I probably do it in 2013, the organizer is reaching a solid level and seems that it is now quite a safe rally.
