True Classic
This year the Dakar Rally (in name only, it hasn't had anything to do with Dakar for many years) includes a parallel event with "vintage" race cars from the Dakar's past, referred to as the "Dakar Classic". Although they have defined "classic" as anything older than 2000.
These cars are a part of the overall event but also separate in that they have altered routes and distances to better accommodate their limitations. I was hoping to see more vintage rally cars, however the majority this year are various forms of trucks plus a few "buggy's". This is the first year for the classic category so hopefully we will see more cars in future events.
