2014 Dakar Rally: Video Clips and Where to Watch

The legendary Dakar rally begins today, and the organizers have released a few videos to get us excited about watching. The rally takes place January 5 to 18, 2014 and the racers will journey from Argentina through Bolivia and finally to Chile, covering more than 9,000 kilometers by car or truck and nearly that much in the motorcycles and quad bikes.

Jalopnik has a nice guide with information on where you can watch the rally, including the NBC Sports Network in the U.S. If you watch the rally, be sure to keep an eye out for the MINI Countryman and see how they fare.

These videos show some of the highlights from past Dakar race events and the official teaser trailer for Dakar 2014 is above.
