Desert racing is one of the most  exciting sports that one can think of! It implies that vehicle such as dune buggies,  trophy trucks and motorcycles are used in racing across the desert with its vastness and endless sand. Imagine  speeding over huge sand dunes and with cactus on the sides of the track and an open sky  above you. This is what desert racing is all about!

In desert racing, the drivers face a  large task: they have to control the vehicle through the endless and almost lifeless desert without a  map. The races are also very long sometimes extending to several hundred miles. The drivers use the map and  their knowledge to maneuver through the complicated desert terrain. It is like the largest and most complex moving puzzle  where the fast movement is critical.

The vehicles used in the desert racing are great. Dune  buggies are small car like vehicles which are light in weight and can easily climb over sand dunes  and move around quickly. Trophy trucks are larger and more robust, designed for tough conditions and to maintain  high speeds. These trucks have big tires and powerful engines to ensure that they can move across the sand  without getting stuck.

Desert racing is not only about speed but also about strategic approach and proper  equipment. Sterilizers are special kinds of clothes that the drivers wear to protect themselves and the vehicles are  also equipped with water and tools in case of any breakdown during the race.

Desert racing can be  as fun to watch as it is to participate in. The sight of colorful cars and other vehicles leaping  over sand dunes is an amazing sight,  and the sound of the roaring engines as they race to the finish line is quite an experience.

So, if you ever get a chance to attend a desert  race, then do it! It is a great experience that demonstrates how people and machines overcome one of  the harshest environments on the planet – the desert.
