Well, there are a number of sports I like. I do love ice hockey, soccer/football, IndyCar racing, desert racing, and rally, but my number one favorite is Cross Country Rally; also known as the Rally Raid.

 

It is similar to WRC rallying, but the overall event is much long, lasting anywhere from 2-3 days, to a week, to even two weeks; such is the case with the Dakar Rally. There is typically one fairly long stage per days with with even longer non-timed roads & such just to get to the timed stages. Vehicles include carious types of production cars, prototype cars, vehicles based off of pick-ups & SUVs, buggies, BIG semi-trucks, motorcycles, atvs, and side-by-sides.

 

The types of environments traversed include muddy roads, dirt forest roads, deserts sands & dunes, and even icy roads as is the case with the Northern Forest Baja in Russia. To me, these events are the most captivating I know of, and there is SO LITTLE coverage of them outside of Dakar.
