There is something on the news about canceling the Rally.
This is a well know game. Even if I never played the MSX version, there should be lots of software based upon real events! Maybe someone could make a historical demonstration about IT!!!

there was a pretty funny paris-dakar racing game written in basic as well... maybe someone can dig it up

this from spectrum, but it is exactly the same.

Aaah! Paris-Dakar by Zigurat! It was a great and very detailed simulator way ahead of its time.
You don't trust me? Have a look at this game screenshot



You can see that possible terrorist attacks were yet contemplated in the game
(Just kidding... it's just a bit of Saboteur mixed with Bomb Jack and edited with photoshop )

You could have fooled us for some hours more, dude. Would've been cool

Maybe this could be a more simulation game. I played this game, it was so well known in Spain. It was a very good game but I wasted a lot of time of my life lost in the desert Next time I'll try to play it with a GPS

hm.. no one remembers the Basic game?

Nope, but I do remember the game Paris Dakar that is shown above. What a great game. I really liked it.
