Route
Dakar rally 2014
from
Rosario
(Argentina) to Valparaiso
(Chile)
Bolivia will
become the 28th country to host the Dakar Rally, after being included
alongside Argentina and Chile on the next year's race calendar.
The
2014 Dakar Rally, the 35th edition and the sixth since the famous
event has moved to South America, will set off in Rosario, Argentina,
on January 5, pass through Bolivia, and finish in Valparaiso, Chile,
two weeks later.
"Although
the Dakar's first visit to Bolivia will principally focus on discovery,
the competitors' technical and sporting performances will essentially
be tested in Argentina and Chile, which will be explored in very
different way compared to the rally's 5 previous editions in South
America," Dakar officials said.
Racing
through Bolivia won't be the only addition to the 2014 Dakar Rally,
as next year's event will have longer special stages and more marathon
stages. |
