It did start by leaving Europe, then down into Africa .... Paris - Dakar.
More recently they've been using South America - playing in the Andes - Peru, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia.
Last few years they've centred on the Middle East, where they are now.
Very harsh, and good luck to all who participate.
They are strictly monitored so they don't lose anyone, driving up to 500 miles per day.
Early years saw the Daf Trucks hammering everyone, Porsche included, with trucks going up to 120 mph, on dirt!!
This has been limited for some time, to avoid potentially catastrophic accidents - I think it's more to avoid serious embarrassment of large car manufacturers, trying to entice them to participate!
