Template:Short description Template:Infobox rally raid The 2007 Dakar Rally was the 29th running of the event. It started in Lisbon, Portugal on 6 January and ran through Europe and Africa until 21 January 2007. It was the last time the event would take place in Africa, as the 2008 event (billed as the Central Europe Rally) since the ASO relocated the race to an all-Eastern Europe ruote in April because of terrorist attacks, and moved to South America from 2009.^[1]
