DAKAR (2006)
Not to be confused with Dakar (1952 ÷ 2005)
Description After more than 50 years and 26 editions, la 6 heures de Dakar (Dakar 6 hours) was moved on another track because a bridge was pulled down on the traditional circuit. The new circuit is similar to the old one, a motoray circuit. I don’t know which one will be used in future
