Dakar Rally - Argentina, Bolivia, Chile . The Dakar has a special meaning for us as our recovery gear (in particular our Sand Ladders and Kinetic recovery ropes) is used by many teams. As well as the cars, bikes & quads, the most impressive category has got to be the 'camion' aka Big Trucks. And 2015 was dominated by the Russians in their 'Kamaz' vehicles. The Dakar Rally (formerly known as the "Paris–Dakar Rally") is an annual rally raid. Most events since the inception in 1978 were from Paris, France, to Dakar, Senegal, but due to security threats in Mauritania, which led to the cancellation of the 2008 rally, the Dakar Rally has been held in South America each year since 2009. .
