Dakar Rally
The Dakar Rally () or simply "The Dakar" (), formerly known as the Paris–Dakar Rally (), is an annual rally raid organised by the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO). It is an off-road endurance event traversing terrain much tougher than conventional rallying, and the vehicles used are typically true off-road vehicles and motorcycles, rather than modified on-road vehicles. Most of the competitive special sections are off-road, crossing dunes, mud, camel grass, rocks, and erg. Stages vary from short distances up to per day. The rough terrain, driver fatigue, and lack of skill usually results in accidents and serious injuries. The event began in 1978 as a rally from Paris, France, to Dakar, Senegal. Between 1992 and 2007 some editions did not start in Paris or did not arrive in Dakar, but the rally kept its name. Security threats in Mauritania led to the cancellation of the 2008 rally, and from 2009 to 2019 the rally was held in South America. Since 2020, the rally has been hel ...

Dakar (album)
''Dakar'' is a jazz album by the jazz saxophonist and composer John Coltrane. It was released in November 1963 through Prestige Records. ''Dakar'' is a reissue of one side of the  rpm LP '' Baritones and French Horns'' (released in 1958), a portion of which was recorded on April 20, 1957 (the same day Dakar was recorded), and which was a session led by Pepper Adams and Cecil Payne on which Coltrane was a sideman. ''Dakar'' was one of several 1960s Prestige reissues featuring Coltrane to take advantage of his growing stardom in the 1960s. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Lindsay Planer wrote: "Although at the time these were considered 'leaderless' units, upon hearing the interaction of the participants, modern ears might desire to qualify that statement" given the nature of Coltrane's contribution. Chris May of ''All About Jazz'' commented: "It's rough and ready music, almost certainly rehearsed for the first time in the studio... but it sure is ''ready''... A minor ch ...

Dakar 4x4
The Dakar 4x4 is an off-road kit car originally designed for the Paris to Dakar rally. Development The Dakar was developed in 1991 by Barry Chantler of Dakar Cars in Dartford, KenA successor to the Rotrax, the Dakar uses a Range Rover chassis rather than the more conventional sports car style. The Rotrax was a RWD 2-seater buggy built on a space frame chassis using Cortina suspension and engines. Dennis Adams, its designer, tagged it "the thinking man's beach buggy". The original Sport 2-seater was later joined by the 2+2 Safari model. The Dakar matched the Range Rover's 100-inch wheelbase and added a rear seat, as well as carrying over the V8 engine and 4WD from the donor vehicle. As well as the performance improvements from the reduced bodyweight, the Dakar design greatly improved the approach and departure angles of a standard vehicle. The kit car has slowly evolved, including the ability to now be fitted to a Discovery chassis. Enthusiasts have fitted a number of en ...
