Dakar Rally is the world's top race and the largest intercontinental rally in the world so far. This event was founded by French driver thierry Sabin and has been held once a year since 1979. The 26th Dakar Rally this year started from France on June 5438+1 October1,passed through Spain, Morocco, Mauritania, Mali and Burkina Faso, and finally reached Dakar, Senegal, with a total length of 17 stages and a journey of 1 1052 km. The slogan of the Dakar Rally in 2004 is "Return to Tradition". "The so-called' return to tradition' is actually a new challenge to the limits of mankind." Patrick, head of the road investigation team, said. Drivers have to go through various difficult sections, such as gravel, desert, mud, roads, grasslands, farmland and so on. And they must always guard against the attacks of escape gangs and various guerrillas, which is far more arduous than any other competition. In the past 25 games, 30 players have lost their lives. Geographical span and climate temperature difference are the two most sinister difficulties. The racing car must first cross the frozen France, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlas Mountains, and then challenge the moody "Death Sahara". In 20 days, racing cars and drivers will be tested by the drastic temperature change and bad road conditions from below zero in France to above 50 degrees in the Sahara desert, and various unsafe factors are hidden among them. In the end, less than 50% cars can reach the finish line. Lu Ningjun, the king of China, arrived in Dhaka with a paladin racing car made by Nissan in Zhengzhou, China, setting a new record-until now, professional drivers in China and cars made in China have never participated in this race.

In order to train and train China's own young drivers, promote the development of automobile sports in China, and let more racers have the opportunity to participate in this level of competition. With great trust in China's automobile industry, Zhengzhou Nissan will team up again in the near future to recruit drivers for the whole country.
