Dakar Rally Full of Realness, Cars Rolling Off Mountains

↵As East Coast Bias points out, the best sporting event you’re not watching is the Dakar Rally, which no longer goes Dakar to Paris due to security concerns but instead takes place in the vast open spaces of South America. For beginners looking for boggling stats and reasons to watch: you get on something with wheels and a motor, roll 5500 miles across unpaved tracks covering mountain ranges and deserts for 11 days straight, and hope nothing catches fire. Then, three weeks later, you start to regain feelings in your buttocks, and that’s only if you didn’t roll your car off the side of said mountains or get picked clean by vultures in the desert. Updates on Versus every day at 3:30 p.m., unless the realness is you know, too much for you.
