Last saturday (january 18th) Rally-Raid Dakar finished it's 2014 edition. In South America as the immediatly past years. During it's 34 years, 6 were developed in South America, in four countries (Argentina, Chile, Peru and Bolivia). This year all countries except Bolivia. And other important fact is that quads start running in South America, not in Africa.

This year's edition was the most difficult since Dakar arrived in South America, according to drivers. Long days (jan 5 - jan 18) marked the routes that cars, bikes, trucks and quads crossed. More than 400 participants and the best machines did a good competence. More than the half of competitors left the race.

In cars, MINI (with Xraidteam) were the leaders during the whole Dakar (the most). Drivers like Peterhansel and Roma (winner) lead all the race. Sometimes Sainz try but MINI were the best. 

In bikes Coma (KTM), Despres (Yamaha) and Barreda Bort (Honda) were the absolutely leaders. Coma won the race with a totally domain.

Finally in Trucks, Karginov (Kamaz) won. Kamaz won the last years, except 2012 (Iveco).
