The Amaury Sport Organisation created this event as the relocated Dakar Rally for 2008 after 2007 killing of French tourists in Mauritania (the event is owned by a French organisation) less than two weeks before the originally scheduled start of the race, and the decisions of organisers to defer all Dakar entrants to this event technically made this part of the Dakar.
