Do people watch Paris - Dakar ?

I do and i like the cars high speed on the bumps :)

Your opinions plz !

[TT]

Yes, every day on Eurosport and on a couple of French channels!

I absolutely LOVE it! one of the nest Motoring events of the year for sure!

Go Ari GOOO!

BTW, just to chit chat a little bit.. I obviously didn't checked the website today to have the surprise while watching the TV coverage, but so far, the first short European stages revealed a little about this season..

First, the 2WD bike did incredibly well dang.. no idea if it's more "enduro" orientated than the other ones and I can't wait to see if the second driving wheel will help in Africa too.
Then, impressive of the X5 are doing well.. already in 2003, as a first partecipation they did a good performance, especially Alphand, but this year seems even better... and not with some sort of racing car like the Pajero EVO can be.
As for the Touareg?... Poor Jutta struggled last year with the VW buggy, but I'm not sure that experience helped out really that much on the development of the Tourage racing this year so basically we could consider this 2004 season as the first try.. still curious to watch..
I really hope not to see the Pajero EVO as they were in 2003.. to strong for the others... I'd really like to see some good fights with the Nissans (especially looking forward Colin's performance, very curious, and my fav driver is Vatanen, no doubt) but also with the BMW.
I'd like also to see Schlesser crossing the finish line this season, maybe in the first 5 or 6...
And wish Peteransel more luck than he had in 2003 LOL.

All in all this Paris-Dakar will be GREAT!

[levensnevel]

Yes,

surely I watch it every night, the reruns on RTL5 that is :roll:
Quite like the flashbacks they include in the program.

[chabre]

Of course i see it on Speed TV (1 hour dialy). and Fox Sports.

[stradale]

I try to watch it on a daily basis on RTL5 as well.

I really respect those guys (and some girls) that compete in Paris-Dakar.

[yg60m]

Just in the news programs and not every day, the only sports i follow regularly is F1 and MotoGP.

[LUC1FER]

I had to vote no as we don't get it on tv here, maybe if I went and got sattelite I could :(

[SamuraiGti]

I try to see it on Eurosport.

Portuguese television sucks about motorsport... Very bad... :cry: Not even a decent program about cars we have, I just got eurosport to see the Dakar now, wrc etc.

The other channel i have is motors, a little french a little english, very confusing.

They took away Dsf now.

[novass]

ya i watch it. Speed has been doing daily live coverage. i havent missed a day yet.

i dream of the day that Rallies are more popular the NASCAR here

[McLarenF1God]

SPEED has??? Man, why didn't I know of this? I never get to wathc Paris Dakar. I thought it wasn't broadcasted in America.

[rallyprox]

I dont even hav ethe channel otherwise i would be all over htat show i have the game and i play it on gamecube but i had the channel with the show. does anyone know what channel it is on in the usa

[mderuige]

watched it every day. It must be very exhausting to do (especially this year), but I stil would like to do it myself. Probabely within five years, as a mechanic.

[Kangaroo Boy]

I watched it on Fox sports...

[DTM8]

Yea, I watch it. Its just unique to watch all those locals help out, its cool.

[sk123]

no but i'd like 2....i never seem to find a chanel that covers it...

[Ralliart]

novass, i hear ya! I ordered speedchannel almost 2 years ago just to be able to watch WRC and it seems the coverage has declined every year since, whilst NASCRAP is on the rise.....i feel like pulling my hair out everytime i turn on speed hoping for something interesting, and getting stuck with non-stop discussion about the best way to turn left.

[dm_aus]

I watched as much as I could of it, but we only got 1/2hr a day over here on free to air TV in Australia.

[sads]

i watched on fox sports and was curious 2 c how the awd yamaha would go

[gigdy]

At home we get speed channel i made sure to watch it. I think they need to have the trucks on there more though

[hwe]

Haven't watched it closely before this year, but this year I followed it on Eurosports every evening, mainly to see how Colin would manage.

[altezza]

yes, watched it on Speed, but not everyday :(
didn't know that Fox Sports also broadcasted it...
