I'm new to this forum, so apologies if this has been discussed already.
Just wondering if anyone is watching the Africa Eco Race?
http://www.africarace-live.com/en/
Less competitors than the Dakar, but it seems to be getting a little bigger each year. And nice to see some action in Africa that actually goes from Paris to Dakar.
Many past Dakar legends are involved in the race (e.g. Pal Anders Ullevalseter in the bikes this year). Dakar experts will recognize several other names. Most are there because they swear it is the true Dakar rally.
Stage 7 video in particular includes some interesting thoughts from UK competitors about why they like the race.
All stages are free on Youtube in 1080p HD... (although I can't seem to find Stage 5?)
Stages 1-4 have no commentary (natural sounds)
Stages 6 onwards have full English commentary.
All include many competitors interviews (some English).
Stage 1 -
Stage 2 -
Stage 3 -
Stage 4 -
Stage 6 -
Stage 7 -
Stage 8 -
Stage 9 -
I have been a Paris Dakar fan since the 80s (accumulating video every single year). I still watch it in South America. But there's still something missing since it left Africa, so now I follow both events.
