Description: The Dakar Rally is without question the most arduous and notorious off-road motorsports event on the planet. Since its inception in 1979, it has attracted more than 3,000 adventurers from all walks of life. At 46, Hacking was one of the older competitors and a rookie to boot. Nevertheless, he took on the 2001 Paris-Dakar and survived to become the first Canadian to finish the desert marathon. In To Dakar and Back, Hacking in collaboration with motorsport journalist Wil De Clercq recounts the three weeks of blood, sweat, and tears that took him to a triumph of self-realisation.
