Paris Dakar Rally 1984

We head back to the 1984 Paris Dakar Rally which became a race for survival as the harsh conditions and tough environment decimated the field.
It was a 12,000km odyssey as 426 cars, motorcycles and trucks navigated eight countries in 20 drama-filled days as only 148 machines made it to the finish line in Dakar.
A trio of specially-adapted Porsche 911s led the way, with 1983 winner Jacky Ickx starting as favourite. Electrical problems hampered his bid for victory, but set the scene for an enthralling fight back. Among the challengers were the sportscar great Jochen Mass, driving veteran Vic Elford, the heroic Marreau brothers, Mitsubishi's Andrew Cowan, the Pacific Range Rover of Patrick Zaniroli and Ickx's own teammate Rene Metge. The bike section was also a star-studded affair, with BMW's challengers Hubert Auriol and Gaston Rahier dominating.
