Great photos from the race "Paris-Dakar 2010", which started on the first day of the new year. Instead of the traditional African route, for safety reasons, this year's rally takes place in South America. The race started and finished in Buenos Aires. Participants must overcome the 9,000 kilometers of challenging track, which runs in Argentina and Chile. The race is divided into 14 stages and should be completed on January 16.
362 teams, 176 motorcycles and quads, 134 cars, 52 trucks, sand, rocks, heat, speed!
