MINI at Dakar
A MINI Countryman takes flight during stage five at the Dakar rally.
The gruelling 13-stage rally is currently underway in South America finishing on Sunday. The course sees 146 cars, 183 motorbikes, 68 lorries and 33 quad bikes racing 5,000km over a 9,500km-long course. After staging the event 29 times in Africa between 1979 and 2007, the rally switched continents in 2008 for security reasons.
