I saw this on MyHeritage recently – Dakar Rally 2021: The Weekend Report: https://blog.myheritage.com/2021/01/dakar-rally-2021-the-weekend-report/. Longer article, but I shared the opening paragraphs. If you have an interest in racing events, may be worth checking out. Includes a video and photos.

As the saying goes, there is no rest for the weary! The MyHeritage Team at the Dakar Rally 2021 is working very hard, with little time to rest, even over the weekend. The team has been keeping us updated as they go.
Here is the weekend digest of how they’re doing in the 43rd edition of the Dakar Rally in Saudi Arabia:
On Friday, all the competitors were very happy to hear of the organizers’ decision to shorten the stage from 488 to 347 km! The organizers made this change due to the fact that many of the teams had finished the previous day’s course well after midnight and were totally exhausted.

It was nearly two o’clock in the morning when the MyHeritage team rolled its SSV into the bivouac, after a 456 km long stage followed by an extra 260km liaison!
