The adventurous spirit of Thierry Sabine is very much alive.
When at the beginning of the 80s, a young French adventurer named Thierry Sabine set the challenge to cross most of the North of Africa with reduced ressources (the ones available at the time) many drivers, who wanted even more, signed up for a competition where the specifications of the car were important but not determinant. That is how the Dakar was born; at that time, the Rally Paris-Dakar.
