The Dakar Rally has been cancelled due to political uncertainty and direct threats of terrorism against the Rally, for 2008

Man its a harmless race I dont understand why other people (outsiders) have to interfear with a sport. I hate it when any type of sport or race is cancelled because of a terrorist threat. Its just unfair :(

well in this case i sort of understant them. The drivers were killed last year and they stole thier car. These cars are worth lot of money and i guess thives are stealing them and selling on the black market.

I just wish they can do a bit different race. Maybe have a race that runs in europe and goes to SAUDI ARABIA or even qatar. that way they would get some snow/mud and sand. i think it should be fun if they do a race that runs from russia all the way to saudi arabia :)
