Dakar on Sky this year???

[cptsideways]

Anyone having trouble finding if Sky are covering the Dakar this year. Very little publicised so far.


I'm starting to panic

I spent ages looking as well, only just put a series link on it
mind you ES are allways running late so best to watch it live or record it the day after in the morning when they are not showing live events.

Always Eurosport. HD picture quality is excellent, but the scheduling gets bounced all over the place every year - last year I ended up having both the highlights show and the repeats series linked to try to make sure that I could watch it rather than end up with 25 minutes of tennis or skiing instead...

Looking forward to this even more than normal.

My friend was invited there to drive a press vehicle for Team Orlen - basically getting photographers/videographers to distant places.

Sadly due to personal circumstances the navigator for Team Orlen had to return home and my mates been asked if he'll navigate for Marek Dabrowski in car 311.

A dream come true for him (he's always wanted to do the Dakar) but sad that it's in such circumstances. He's a very very experienced offroad driver and runs his own rally team/workshop in Dubai.


He's a member here - TeamSaluki



Really looking forward to this.

Don't forget the official app.

Shame the start wasn't broadcast live


Nasar started as he means to go on, wonder if Robbie Gordon will finish

The Apps fine - what I'm looking for though is an Iritrack location website so I can see where the vehicles are as they progress.

So far no luck.

I'm using the big tracking website - http://www.trackingdakar.nl/index.php?toggle=311

Looks like the Orlen team are up 8 places today. Great start.

Would seem to be erroneous info. The official Dakar site carried a brief new item about it and then deleted it and he's currently classified as a finisher of SS1 in 123rd place.

Coverage is getting worse every year
