4 Most Dangerous and Thrilling Motor Races


BENGALURU: Motor racing is believed to be one of the most dangerous and thrilling experience. Many people are not aware that it is a real sport. Historically, ‘road racing’ meant a course on closed public road. This was once commonplace but currently only a few such circuits have survived, mostly in Europe. Races take place on public roads which have been temporarily closed to the public by legal orders from the local legislature. As the riders and drivers set up their machines for the action, the spectators swarm the racing venue with great enthusiasm and appetite for some real action.

Let’s have a look as some of the toughest races in the world:

1. Dakar Rally

The Dakar Rally or the Paris-Dakar is a unique motor racing event that stands every test of challenge, surprise and excitement. The race dates back to 1977, when Thierry Sabine lost his way in the Libyan Desert during the Abidjan-Nice Rally. On returning to France, Sabine conceptualized a route starting in Europe, continuing to Algiers and crossing Agadez before finishing at Dakar. This year the Dakar Challenge will be held in two different continents—North America and Africa. With amateur drivers and riders set to entertain the crowd, the off-road rallies will assemble motor sports lovers from all over the globe. Three rallies will be organized to hunt for the next big driving and riding talents. The least experienced competitors in each of these events will be eligible for the Dakar Challenge.
