It won't end up, or even pass, Dakar... It used to start in Paris, then some place in Spain (Madrid?), then Lisbon, but usually ended up in Dakar, hence the name. But this year? It doesn't blend...

On DirecTV, showings are at 3:30PM EST, repeats later in the evening. I record it on the DVR and - in a motorhead family like mine - we all gather round after supper to watch the rally.
