Talk:2008 Dakar Rally

Cancelled

 * This rally just got cancelled. Maybe the 2007 edition was the final Dakar. Hektor (talk) 11:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

That's why we should NEVER use the future tense
For future events, an encyclpopedia should say that the scheduled date is but nit that the event WILL happen on a future date. So Euro 2008, Olympics eytc. should say that they are scheule for a time and place. A world Cup was changed in place in 1999. Radio Guy (talk) 01:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Errors in article
The Routes section describes a rest day on 13th January in Atar, but the Stages table shows the rest day on 13th January in Nouakchott.

References [3] and [4] link to pages which appear to relate to the 2007 event, not the cancelled 2008 event.

I suspect the 2007 Dakar Rally article has been copied but incompletely edited. --Romney yw (talk) 02:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Idiots
Never give in to terrorists!!!!! What a crock.--71.242.127.31 (talk) 15:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah really. Couldn't they have just attached some RPG's onto those all-terrain garbage trucks and fought back instead of folding it up? The Dakar Rally is known for racing through ANYTHING, buncha hypocrites. 24.36.2.26 (talk) 14:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Economic impact
Have there been any reports on the economic impact of race cancellation in Africa? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 05:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
