Every day on Eurosport channel. Race gets really interesting after the first week (so this week) when they hit the deserts. Rallye has become a MEGA event, which unfortunately has taken away some of it's original, primitive, survival-like character (when it was still called 'Paris-Dakar'). The camera work from the helicopters is terrific. No Ferrari's though...

PS: This year's Whitbread/Volvo race looks like a complete fiasco, can hardly be called a race anymore. Don't even watch it, even though a Dutch boat is leading in the Southern Ocean. Pity, used to be such an awesome challenge. America's Cup has much more appeal these days.
