The '''2007 [[Dakar Rally]]''' was the 29th running of the event. It started in [[Lisbon]], [[Portugal]] on 6 January and ran through [[Europe]] and [[Africa]] until 21 January [[2007 in sport|2007]]. It was the last time the event would take place partially in Africa, as the 2008 event was moved to a Europe-only event because of terrorist attacks, and moved to South America from 2009.

The 2007 Dakar Rally was the 29th running of the event. It started in Lisbon, Portugal on 6 January and ran through Europe and Africa until 21 January 2007. It was the last time the event would take place partially in Africa, as the 2008 event was moved to a Europe-only event because of terrorist attacks, and moved to South America from 2009.

Incidents[edit]

The 2007 event was marred by the deaths of two competitors, both in the motorcycle division. The first was South African motorcyclist Elmer Symons, who was competing in the rally for the first time, on the fourth stage between Er Rachidia and Ouarzazate. He was the 47th competitor to die taking part in the Dakar.[4] The second death occurred on the 14th and penultimate stage; French motorcyclist Eric Aubijoux was found dead 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from the finish line in Dakar. Initial reports indicated he had suffered a fatal heart attack.[5] Later investigations indicated he had been involved earlier in an accident with another vehicle.[6][7]
