2009 Dakar Rally
Template:Short description Template:Infobox rally raid
The 2009 Dakar Rally was the 31st running of the Dakar Rally. The race began on 3 January 2009, and took place across Argentina and Chile.[1] The rally was for the first time to take place outside of Europe and Africa as the location was changed by organizers due to concerns about possible terrorist attacks that resulted in the postponement and relocation of the previous year's race[1][2][3] In addition to motorcycle, automobile, and truck categories, a separate quad (all-terrain vehicle) class was added for the first time (previously a subdivision of the motorbike category).
Étienne Lavigne, the race director of the rally, first announced the new race location in February 2008 around the same time as the previous year's rescheduled and relocated race was held for competitors. 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."[4]
Entrants
540 teams from 50 nations competed in the rally.[5] Teams underwent administrative and technical checks in Buenos Aires between 31 December and 2 January. Afterwards, 217 motorcycles, 25 all-terrain vehicle, 177 cars, and 81 trucks driven by a total of 837 people were approved to start.[1][6]
Route
