Which event is considered the most difficult and demanding rally in the world?

Dakar Rally

The Dakar Rally is recognized as one of the most difficult and demanding events in the world of rally and motorsport in general. Initially run from Paris to Dakar, Senegal, this event was moved to South America in 2009, then to Saudi Arabia in 2020, due to security concerns. The Dakar tests the resilience of drivers and the durability of their vehicles across extremely varied terrains, including sand dunes, rocks, mud, and other natural obstacles. Victory in the Dakar is considered a major feat due to the logistical complexity, the physical endurance required, and the racing strategy needed to conquer this legendary rally.
