The 2009 Dakar Rally was the 30th running of the Dakar rally an automobile, motorcycle, and all-terrain vehicle race, latest 8 of which were dominated by Mitsubishi Team. The race officially began at 5:00 a.m. ARDT (7:00 a.m. UTC) on January 3, 2009, and took place across Argentina and Chile.[1] The rally was the first to take place outside of Europe and Africa, as the location of the rally was changed by organizers due to concerns about possible terrorist attacks (the 2008 Dakar Rally was cancelled before it started, for the same reason).[1][2]

Cars before the event began

Étienne Lavigne, the race director of the rally, first announced the new race location in February 2008. He said, "Dakar competitors are going to discover new territory, new scenery, but with the same spirit of competition and adventure, with very hard stages."[3]

[edit] Accidents

During the first stage of the rally, British driver Paul Green and co-driver Matthew Harrison were seriously injured when their Rally Raid UK car overturned. Both men were taken to a local hospital, where they are currently in a critical condition.[9]

On January 7, 49-year-old French motorcycle rider Pascal Terry was found dead in a remote area. He had been missing since the second stage of the rally, and the cause of death was determined as a pulmonary edema.[10]

On the tenth stage on January 13, 48-year-old Spanish motorcyclist Cristóbal Guerrero was seriously injured after a heavy crash. 24 hours after the accident, he was reportedly still in a coma and in a critical condition.[11] Guerrero's son Cristóbal junior competes in the World Enduro Championship.

During stage twelve of January 15, rally leader Carlos Sainz rolled his Volkswagen Toureg into a ravine, ending the race for the Spaniard and his French co-pilot, Michel Perin, who received a shoulder injury during the crash[12].

[edit] Winners

Marc Coma won his 2nd Dakar Rally in the motorbike class. Josef Macháček won the Quad All Terrain Vehicle class. De Villiers (ZAF) won the car class in a time of 48:10:57 with his co-pilot Von Zitzewitz (GER). Kabirov, Belyaev and Mokeev [RUS] won the truck class.
