Has anyone ever gone to spectate the Dakar?
I know I'd definitely love to go some time later in life. Where would be the best place to watch it? I suppose it would be the finishing line at Senegal.
What do you guys think?

If I had the time and the money I would love to spectate on the Dakar. It would be a great experience. However I don't currently have the time or the money

Wouldn't it be awesome? I'm trying to save hard and get some cash behind me to spectate at some of my favourite rallies. One is the Dakar. I hope to make a trip over in 2-3 years, hopefully!! Before that I'm wanting to head across to New Zealand and Finland next year. One's that have been long held ambitions to see. But, if I went to the Dakar I'd be making the trip by myself, as no one else is interested in going. That's why it's about third-fourth on my list-don't know if i would want to travel there alone.

Hey Lita,
How much would it cost to go to the Dakar in terms of $AUS? Just wondering? Depending on the costs, 2-3 years seems to be the time frame for me as well, but to be honest, I think it would be a bit too ambitious, especially if I had to pay for Nic as well... Imagine if all the Aussies on Rallystuff went to the Dakar together, the international members too. That would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaay cool!!!
I suppose simpler meet-ups can be arranged- 2007 Melbourne GP 2007 Oz Rally 2007 Kiwi Rally
I'll echo Curt's words- Time and Money!!!

Yes we could met down here on Neste Rally Finland .I was in Network Q at 2002 what was quite intresting trip for me to watch rally in forests of Wales. Those days I didnt knowed the ticket prices as I just went with my father and I am happy for it. Can be that if the prices will keep going up unfortunately I dont spectate in UK at WRC event never. This year I have planned to go to watch Historic Eifel Rally to Germany as here in Finland we dont have historical car rallyes were B groupers would be involved and you dont see them too much in sprints neither. Anyone else going to watch Eifel Historic?? Anyway to Dakar every year some racing travel companies will sell packages so thats a good way to go for. Dakar aint so expensive as many thoughts and will be quite an experience for sure. I hope my first Dakar will be soon!

I say more, I want to participate in dakar in future. Not for results, just to drive it from the start to the finishline. I know, it will take a lot of money, but I really hope I will have this ammount. A dream now... But I want it.

Australia, Germany, Finland, or Monte are going to have to be my 1st events before Rally GB, but that would be cool to do a "meet up"

i plan to go to Rally Finland and GB in 2007-providing I have the funds. Problem is we need an event that is accessible to Australians, Europeans, Africans and Americans>
Any ideas?

I would love to do the Dakar, tell me someone who wouldn't? I'd love to start some international career (God willing) in Finland in the not too distant future

The Dakar would be great to spectate on at laest those "long" walks on WRGB would seem short compared to the walks in the desert! Once I've got my eyes tested and passed my test we cold form a RallyStuff.net rally team and have our first rally as FInland for you FTRS! Haha!
