This Is What Happens After The Dakar's Rally

When the rally finished in Lima, there was a big party for all the competitors and organisers.  After that probably all the competitors took a big rest in the best hotels in Lima.
     Yesterday when I was walking in Asia which is the newest seaside resort 100 Km. south of Lima, I saw the car (Volkswagen Amarok) that was driven by the Peruvian drivers Ferrand Del Busto and Ferrand Malatesta which finished in the 46th.place (best place in cars for Peruvian drivers) in the Dakar 2012.  Volkswagen was promoting the Amarok by showing Ferrand's car to potential buyers.  I think It was selling for around US$. 36,000 dollars.

Dakar's 2012 was a huge success in Peru, I hope that next year's Dakar starts in Lima.
