Despite original comments...moved to Sport.

Watch it a bit,follow it on Autosport,but TV coverage is poor.

Its just that here we get an hour at 7 pm and more at 8 pm on a different channel and a round up after midnight. Then when I had a look at the BBC website, a quick search returned nothing what-so-ever. I find it rather sad that such a huge, entertaining international event is totally ignored by UK television and the BBC website.
I'm not a huge motorsport fan, but the Dakar is just awesome.
