If you have tried to track the competitors in the Dakar using the dakar.com tracking page, you may have had the same problem I did. After spending a good part of the night trying to figure out why there were no competitors on the course, I finally went to bed exhausted.
In the morning, I could see most of the motorcycles on course. It turns out that the tracking page uses your computer time to simulate "LIVE" coverage. Once I changed my computer time to GMT (Lisbon time) and re-started the tracking page, it showed all the competitors finished, as it should at 5pm. Fortunately the page provides a replay feature that allowed me to simulate the battle of the sidecars.
Whooda thunk!
Hope you all can now enjoy the Dakar live!
Cheers,
Dakar Live Tracking
