Dakar Car Rally: An inhospitable track and drivers' resolve to conquer it

Dakar Car Rally that ends 20 January continues to test the determination and resolve of the top class drivers from around the world over the most inhospitable tracts of desert and dunes.

Although not witnessed by many visitors in the wilderness, but those who can witness only see something whizzing across the scorched earth, leaving a long trail of exhaust fumes in its wake.

The two week long race that commenced from Peru will involve drivers racing through 5,600 miles (9,000km) long journey over extreme mountain and desert terrain that will take them through the south of the country, across the border into Argentina, and finally into Chile where they hope to cross the finish line in Santiago.

While many are successfully making their way forward, some are unlucky when their vehicles turn turtle or just get struck head up in the sand.
