Rally Raid
Rally raid is where some of the sport’s biggest names tackle the world’s most inhospitable terrain. Check out these classic rally raid movies, here, for free.
Whether it's taking place in Africa, South America or Saudi Arabia, the Dakar Rally has been the world’s premier rally raid spectacle since 1979. The race pits thousands of amateurs and motorsport icons such as Fernando Alonso, Sébastien Loeb and Carlos Sainz against each other on motorbikes, quads, trucks and hugely expensive custom-built cars.
Because the sport takes place in the middle of remote desert dunes amid some of the world’s most isolated regions, being a spectator is not that straightforward – but fear not!
These 10 awesome movies and shows will get you up close to the high-speed action without having to even step outside.

Join Mike Chen as he leads a look at everything you need to know about the nuts and bolts of rally raid through cool archive footage and insights from some of the world’s greatest off-road racers.
