dakar is great television.
i would love to see, just once, a wrc race get the same treatment as say, a college bowlgame.

"mitsubishi has been unstoppable. storming through their season, decimating all who have stood in their way. they return to the sands, looking to repeat as the champions of the desert. but first, they must go through the blue lions of subaru, who have no intention of letting the diamonds take the cup without a fight. its a desert showdowm, two teams on a collision course in the dunes of dakar, and its here on speed, next."

dude, that gets me pumped up. and then we get to hear keith go "whoa, nelly!" every time somebody ramped a dune.
awesome.
