They promise an amazing course, a 9000 km loop including 6000 of specials between Buenos Aires, Valparaiso and Buenos Aires. The Dakar rally, the legendary event of the off-road rally discipline, will for the first time go to South America in 2009.

FWIW, Robby Gordon lost $4.5 million from the cancellation last year's DAKAR. That's probably what drove his switch to Dodge for this year's NASCAR season. He's also been penalized by NASCAR, under appeal, trying to land a full-time sponsor, and will struggle to stay in the top 35 in points. It's starting out tough for him.
Gordon might be innocent, but shouldn't be surprised
