This past weekend the 2018 edition of the iconic Dakar Rally got underway in Peru, sending drivers off on one of the most challenging and difficult motorized races in the entire world. The event is always a test of stamina, skill, determination, pushing competitors to their absolute limits. The video below takes a look at what to expect from the race, which is 12 days in length and starts in Lima, Peru, and finishes in Cordoba, Argentina. As always, it looks to be quite the adventure.
