Formula One

Formula One was plunged into a new cheating crisis on Sunday night after it emerged that the sport’s governing body is investigating claims that a Renault driver was ordered to crash his car to help his team-mate to win a race.
Even as Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix, which was won by Kimi Raikkonen for Ferrari, was under way, the FIA confirmed that it is launching an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Nelson Piquet Jr’s crash at the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix last September.
The investigation marks the second “cheating” scandal to hit Formula One this season after Lewis Hamilton and a senior member of the McLaren Mercedes team were found to have lied to the stewards at the Australian Grand Prix in March.
In Sunday’s race in Spa, Hamilton and Jenson Button, the championship leader, were forced to retire after a first-lap collision.

The Paris-Dakar Rally

The first Paris-Dakar started in 1979. By car as you probably know. Meanwhile this rally has grown into a world-class event without equal. In the course of years loads of people have been attracted to accomplish this journey mostly on motorized vehicles. We offer you the possibility to experience this extraordinary dream on your bike. You will taste the sweetness of completing this wonderful ride on a bicycle.
As of January 2009, the Dakar Rally will take place in South America, starting and leaving from Buenos Aires, Argentina in a 9,000 kilometre loop. According to those in charge, the chosen course will offer all the same challenges and types of terrain that participants enjoyed on the traditional route.
Each year, around new year the Paris - Dakar Rally used to bring crowds of fans to Andalucia. Cars, Motorbikes, Quads, and Trucks competed for titles in this huge media event as they travelled from Paris, down through Andalucia and then across the North Africa.
The route changed every year but the fist few days of the two week event were from Paris to Southern France, Southern France to Northern Spain and Northern Spain to North Africa usually crossing from Algeciras, Malaga or Motril. These first few days were not actually a race, with the organisers calling it a 'liaison' stage but the crowds still gathered by the road to cheer on the competitors.
