KAMAZ Dakar Truck's Insane FOS Run
Yep, the name comes from Dakar, Senegal (In Africa), when the race, the Dakar Rally, was originally ran from Paris to Dakar. It's now held in South America, yet retains the legacy name.
These are specially built off road vehicles, Kamaz is the manufacturer in this example. Like many races, there are different classes of trucks that compete in the Rally, alongside dirt bikes, quads and cars.
It's basically Mad Max and I encourage folks to check out highlights of it, or the similar Baja 1000 race.
Interestingly, the truck class includes support trucks that don't actually compete, but assist competitors stranded in the middle of nowhere.
This Red Bull sponsored Monster (energy drinks!) has right around 1000hp and a 265 gallon fuel tank if I recall correctly. Road trip!
Is Dakar the name of the model (type) of the truck?
(edit) I see Dakar seems to be the name of the race and the city?

Usually those big Kamaz trucks have much larger clouds of diesel smoke.
