*The 2008 Dakar Rally would have been an adventure worthy of a John Williams score, something I could have told my grandchildren about. Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to terrorist threats and unrest in Mauritania. The race has been threatened more times than I care to count in its 30-year history. In the past, the organizers have either re-routed or skipped stages entirely because of safety concerns. This year, however, the dangers were deemed too great and the French sanctioning body decided that, in the interest of safety, the whole event would be called off.
I was to set to participate, riding in a Volkswagen Touareg TDI support vehicle chasing the four Race Touareg 2 TDI prototype race vehicles. The teams, led by veteran rally ace Carlos Sainz, were definitely one of the favorites for overall victory. The route started in Lisbon, Portugal, covering more than 5,700 miles and five countries before finishing in Dakar, Senegal.
