i have always thought it was super cool but i cant say i was anything more than just a casual fan in the past but last couple of year i have found my interest nonexistent. i dont mind the location so i think my bigger problem is accessibility to content.
one of the specialty tv channels i get used to broadcast daily updates but then it went from that specialty motorsport channel to this outdoor living type channel and now its just gone from my tv all together.
one would think you can find the same highlight clips on their website but the official site is poorly organized. last year i think i went to catch up on a couple of days worth of stages but their video player would keep cycling videos to the current day...basically it acted like a giant spoiler so i left out of frustration.
and what happened to the commentary and overall day/stage summary videos?
some great video footage but not produced/organized/packaged well at all.
NaBUru38 updates last year conveniently provided me with more useful info then their site does. with it no longer in S.America i suspect NaBUru38 wont be updating at all.  |
Daily summary videos for the first two stages are here:

There is also a Dakar 2020 official youtube channel, but just checking it I see that only has stage 1 showing.
Fortunately we still get the half hour TV broadcasts here in Aus the following morning our time (we are 8 or so hours ahead), on both cable and free to air, but not sure what overseas coverage is like.
FloSports is showing on the official broadcaster list as covering Canada.

Hope that helps.
I follow it but more because it is on tv here and there is no other motor racing on at this time of year other than reviews and replays.
