Which areas participants of Paris Dakar rally belong to?

Question

Paris Dakar rally is a mega racing event in the motorsports world. I was wondering that Paris Dakar rally must attract participants from across the globe is it so please specify?

Answer 1

This mix of physical toughness and technical performance has attracted, for almost thirty years, champions from different horizons, all keen to measure themselves against each other and tame this event like no other. The former WRC world champion, Ari Vatanen, found the key to success; Stéphane Peterhansel, an outstanding jack of all trades at the start of his career, has become the incontestable expert on the event; Cyril Despres has climbed onto the highest step of the podium; world skiing champion Luc Alphand successfully completed his apprenticeship of the desert; Robby Gordon, the American Nascar champion, Carlos Sainz or even Guerlain Chicherit have also turned their focus towards an ultimate objective: winning the Dakar.
