Why Dakar rally 2011 is taking place in Argentina?

Question

Dakar rally 2011 is the most anticipated event in motorsports. This year Dakar rally 2011 is taking place in Argentina, I want to know what distinct character Argentinean terrain provide to the Dakar rally 2011?

Answer 1

The immense size of Argentina will stimulate the imagination of all who love great tracts of open country. Leaving Buenos Aires, the northern route takes competitors into a land of contrasts where in a single day or within a hundred kilometres, the vegetation completely changes with the landscape. In the same way, driving skills required change between dry and wet. The ability to adapt will be rewarded and those with a taste for changes of scene will feel most at home. Over the first three days of the first Argentine section, the Dakar ventures in particular into the provinces of Jujuy and Salta and comes close to Bolivia. It's here in these new areas mapped out around the mythical Route 40 that the Rally ventures.

 

Answer 2

it is not the most anticipated event in motorsport.
